“The Man Who Dies...Rich Dies Disgraced.” A Captain of Industry is an innovator whose business practices and charitable contributions bridge both industry and society, which is unlike Robber Barons, who achieved fame and fortune through dishonest unscrupulous means. Generally speaking, a Captain of Industry is a man who generate money, while Robber Barons exploit money. Andrew Carnegie, millionaire and philanthropist, the man who revolutionized the steel process and created an empire, was a Captain of Industry, because he made sound investments throughout his life, funded public libraries and churches, and endowed many other organizations. As a youth, Carnegie’s schooling ended when he left Scotland, and he only had a few years of it. He later tried to make up for his lack of a formal education with self-study; he gained access to private libraries, read voraciously, and learned skills that got him numerous promotions before the age of 17.
The reason for this being that, in that time, white people viewed themselves as better than any person of color. This created racial slurs that were often used towards those people usually to reinforce their feeling of superiority. And due to their feeling of superiority they were seldom hired for a job that was viewed as only for white people. And generally, a white person’s salary was much greater than a job that a black person of equal education and work ethic would get. White people were on average, higher up on the social ladder than anyone who was not white because no white person of power would let them move up the social ladder.
While his practices were eventually made illegal in many cases, it is undeniable that his domination of the oil industry increased its efficiency, safety, and stabilized its market price. In my opinion, because of the many companies that were eliminated by Rockefellers practices, laws like the Sherman Act in many ways did serve the public good. While on some levels I respect his business acumen, it was certainly not good for a a you company to make the backroom deals that unfairly drove many entrepreneurs to ruin. Undoubtedly, one must also take into consideration the fact that the growth of industry taking place was unprecedented in human history. Never before had technology, transportation, and communications come together to allow for such exponential growth on a global scale.
Augustus seems to rule with his wealth and influence over the people, and those in government positions. In my opinion he is more focused on keeping the Aristocracy happy, for as according to Crone in her examination of pre-industrial societies, the holders of wealth are the key to maintaining leadership and order. Michael Haukaas made an excellent statement as well saying “Himself being wealthy is not enough, as evidence by the war following the death of his father at the hands of Brutus et all”. This statement shows how Augustus also had control over the soldiers as well as the power of his wealth. Just like the podcasts mentioned, Augustus was a powerful man due to his financial stability and the fact that he had made a lot of loyal and close friends with the men of elite

The policy aimed to recognize the contribution of lower-level employees and to link top management rewards to company-wide compensation. It also made a philosophical statement that corporate America tended to overpay top management and underpay entry-level employees, and that corporations should strive to reduce discrepancies in wealth distribution. A source of great company pride, this policy had drawn more attention, internally and externally, than any other at Ben & Jerry’s. In recent years, however, the board and various company members had begun to question its fairness and effectiveness. Ben & Jerry’s had grown much larger and more complicated.
Poverty The capitalist lifestyle that permeates the existence of every American is responsible for great competition and prosperity as well as absolute failure, otherwise known as poverty. Poverty is not a new or at all foreign concept in any part of the world. It has existed since the dawn of civilization, one group flourishes while another struggles. But why, considering our present day U.S. technological advancements and overall well being can we not solve such a social dilemma? Poverty cannot be due to just the fluctuating economy and job market, changes in family composition, or simply laziness (1).
