	The Homestead and Pullman Strikes
		Head of the Carnegie Steel Works, Andrew Carnegie was called the 'Richest Man in the World.' Born to a poor family in Scotland, Carnegie emigrated to the U.S., working in a textile mill and a telegraph office before moving up through the ranks at the Pennsylvania Railroad.
		Carnegie urged that the federal and state governments levy extremely high inheritance taxes to prevent the growth of 'family empires.' He gave millions to endow libraries around the country, as well as Carnegie-Mellon University and other educational institutions.
		Carnegie responded--according to the widely held theory of 'social darwinism'--that direct charitable 'handouts' would interfere with humans' competition for survival and impede the progress of the race.

	The My Hero Project - Andrew Carnegie
		Carnegie was fascinated by the Bessemer process of making steel and invested all of his money in a new plant that would be located in Pittsburgh.

		Carnegie showed his love when he gave back all that money ($350,695,653, to be exact) to charities, libraries and many other causes.

		Carnegie, in some ways, is everyone’s boss, everyone, that is, who works in academia.
