Working during the industrial development caused many to live basic unfilled lives. Industrial development during 1847-1914 was a curse however, improved the future living conditions based off of these atrocious standard]]> 2019-10-18 17:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dswaha/zkk57t72nrdg/wish/399667292 London Mason https://padlet.com/dswaha/zkk57t72nrdg/wish/399671455 Andrew Carnegie one of the famous Robber Barons during this time was the owner of the Steel industry known as the Carnegie Steel. Carnegie was a true example of the “rags to riches” story because he started of very poor and worked his way up the ladder[ii]. Carnegie was born in Scotland and immigrated to the United States when he was around the age of twelve. Although Carnegie immigrated as a poor boy he quickly turned his economic status and became on of the wealthiest men alive during the second industrial revolution. Carnegie by the age of thirty three was worth around four hundred thousand dollars which is approximately five million dollars today (The Gospel of Wealth). Carnegie like most industrial Titans hired a surplus of employees, made them work long and hard hours and underpaid them so he could keep hi operating costs low and be able to distribute and sell the steel and lower price then the rest of the competitor steel companies. Steel was a high commodity during this time because it was a useful resource used in many construction sites, and one major example of the use of steel would be the making and maintaining of the railroads. Another reason why the rapid industrial development was such a blessing to Carnegie was because he used strategy and established the vertical monopoly. The vertical monopoly[iii] basically established that Carnegie had full control over each an every aspect in the Steel business. Carnegie controlled every phase of the steel business, like the raw materials, the distribution, how it is transported and manufactured and who his clientele are. Thus making him the  primary and dominating figure in the whole steel industry, making him one of the wealthiest in America. ]]> 2019-10-18 17:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dswaha/zkk57t72nrdg/wish/399671455
