He underpaid workers, although he believed he was paying a good wage, and hired replacement workers when his workforce went on strike, which essentially broke the union. Carnegie also did not invest in safety procedures to protect his workers, which exposed them to potential injury or death. Andrew Carnegie, however, was not worse than others. Most, if not all, capitalists followed the same set of policies. Discuss this issue. How should we view Andrew Carnegie and his philanthropy? Should we criticize him for how he made his money, or does how he spent his money supersede those concerns?

Today, we look at Bill Gates of…
