He would've exploited the people and the land with absolute impunity. "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - John Dalberg-Acton

[@markjayvillamayor4625]

No way. He is not an employee people. His steel company exploit his employee. There's one point where he required his employees to work 364 days a year and only time to rest was for 4th of July

Di lang pala mayaman si Carnegie may puso din pala talaga sya

[@wanted556]

Aw man! Somebody build a time machine!

[@Trancescient]

That was interesting! Carnegie really believed that the pursuit of liberty, freedom and happiness extends to all people, not just Americans.

[@maxheadrom3088]

Check a book by Stephen Kinzer called "True Flag". Canergie - to my surprise - was an anti-imperialist. The reason the US interfered in Cuba or Philipines wasn't exactly "human rights" but more a "white man's burden" thing. Check the lectures by Kinzer here or get his books!

[@MasidPH]

Interesting! Will definitely look into the books. Thanks Max Headrom!

[@paul5475]

[@UnitedStatesOfficerMarine]

And that caused the Phillipine-American war when he bought the Philippines right?

[@MasidPH]

The Philippine-American conflict arose with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, when Spain agreed to relinquish possession of the Philippines to the U.S. for $20 million. Carnegie was against the treaty and offered to pay the same $20 million to dissuade the U.S. from occupying the Philippines and leave the island alone free of any foreign control.
