Passage Five
Andrew Carnegie, American industrialist and philanthropist, made a fortune by manufacturing iron and steel protected by custom tariff. In 1873, on one of his frequent trips to England, he met Henry Besesement and became convinced that the industrial future lay in steel. He built the J.Edgar Thomson steel Mills near Pittsburgh, and from that moment on, the Carnegie empire was one of constant expansion. Later on, the Carnegie Steel Co. became an immense organization. It included all the process of steel production from the great furnaces and finishing mills of Pittsburgh to the inroads and lake steamers that move the ores and the finish products.
Like his grandfather, Andrew Carnegie did not abandon the radical idealism of his forebears for the benefit of the working class and the social Farwinism of the period, Carnegie remained deeply committed to many of the Charitist ideals of his boyhood. He believed in the social responsibility of the man of wealth to society. He must save as a steward for the fortune; he has earned and used that fortune to provide great opportunity for all and to increase man's knowledge of himself and of his universe. Furthermore, Carnegie be in the form of free charity but rather must be as a buttress to the community's responsibility for its own people.
When Carnegie died in Lenox, Mass, on August 11, 1919, most of his fortune was already gone. People wonder that if Carnegie had known this when he was alive, he would have spread most of his wealth to the poor people.
A.The foundation of the Carnegie Steel Co.
B.The introduction of Charitist ideals.
C.The foundation of the J. Edgan Thomson Steel mills.
D.Andrew Carnegie's trips to Great Britain.
