The Richest Man In The World: The Ugly Truth

Andrew Carnegie Documentary: How does a boy born into poverty become the richest man in the world? Andrew Carnegie is the personification of the American Dream; an extraordinary rise from the very bottom to the absolute financial top. However, I must warn you: there are two different sides to Andrew Carnegie. On the one hand, Andrew Carnegie was a hypocrite - he preached about workers rights publicly, and yet privately he slashed his workers wages, significantly increased their working hours, and essentially exploited his staff as slave labour in barbaric dangerous conditions to build his fortune. Carnegie destroyed unions, and his actions resulted in countless unnecessary brutal deaths - for example the tragedy of Homestead.
And yet, on the other hand, Andrew Carnegie may be the greatest ever philanthropist - after becoming the richest man in the world, he then spent the rest of his life giving almost all of that money away via philanthropy. He funded universities, schools and nearly 3000 free public libraries around the world to help others improve their own position in life. Many believe he inspired future billionaires to give more of their money away and embrace corporate philanthropy. Andrew Carnegie is also responsible for incredible innovation that helped build America and change the way we do business - we’ll look at his rise through the corporate ranks and how he built his fortune in the steel business. Andrew Carnegie’s story is both an inspiring rags to riches tale, and a controversial business documentary. And the history of Andrew Carnegie involves several other business titans - for example Carnegie was bitter rivals with John D Rockefeller, and also ended up making the biggest business deal in history with JP Morgan, which is how Carnegie became the richest man alive. But before all that wealth and drama, we need to travel back to Scotland in 1835, where Andrew Carnegie was born into abject poverty…

[@michelleobrien6996]

This is a fine example of the complaint I have about self improvement and business improvement theories. Andrew Carnegie is often used as an example of how good daily habits, self belief, perseverance, networking and other positive behaviours create success, when in reality his success was created on the basis of exploitation, corruption, insider trading, with disregard for the destruction of the environment and human life. Basically every unethical practice we know is the basis of huge success in business- but this reality is denied.

[@jimmyjams9048]

agreed- most of the biggest philanthropists are the first ones to whinge about taxes and wages. Philanthropy is about ego- I always think, just shut the fuck up and pay ya taxes.

[@gm2407]

The joke is that those daily habits were used in conjunction with the despised behaviours and that is what made him successful.

[@bearintraining]

Carnegie definitely left a very impactful legacy, especially in the Pittsburgh area. The nuance of his impact is very important to touch on like you did in this video. Even my family has been largely affected by both his philanthropy and wrongdoing. My grandfather's family were immigrants that came to Pittsburgh and his brother died at around thirty in a fatal accident at one of his mills. That being said, my grandfather still routinely visits the Carnegie Public Library and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The irony being that the library was supposedly installed for the workers of the dangerous mills. On top of this, my parents both graduated and met at Carnegie Mellon University. So, in a way the same person who led to my great uncle's death, led to my birth. Great video keep it up!

[@milosbhat6920]

Your comment somehow does partly answer one of the greatest, if not the greatest moral issues concerning human society. Does the goal justify the means? In your case one could easily assume that the answer is yes. But then again I have my doubts. If the brother of your grandfather had not died the way he did, his progeny today may have equally shared the fruits of the labour of their grandfather, just like you. But then again, Andrew would not have the great transformative effect on millions of American citizens. Guess such things will always require sacrifices, martyrs, injustice and appalling life for certain segments of our fellow human beings. The same principles apply today to those who work for Jeff Bezos, as does the increasing use of robots and AI. Competition and profit. However as people like Steven Pinker will assure you we are going forward. I agree in this case. The conditions at the workplace are not remotely akin to those that your grandparents experienced. But they still can keep some at the bottom of the social hierarchy, they do not guarantee the education of their children, especially when the public education is being neglected. No wonder they are increasingly producing a generation of believers in conspiracies, people succumbing to warbled guttrals of demagogues and snake oil pundits, people who are completely abdoning the existence of objective truth or the legacy of the founding fathers. Yes I can see progress in your case here. But in general a regression for the American society. Hope I am mistaken.

[@AJ5]

The end doesn't justify the means, when the means are literally the END of someone else! A work related accident could be just that, an accident due to neglect. Next time we should improve work conditions. If we ignore it intentionally, the next work accident becomes intentional. We shouldn't justify evil ever. No matter how big or small! To answer your question "does the end justify the means", no it shouldn't. Would I steal from a supermarket to feed my kids? It's easy, but it hurts the owners and the economy. I rather work hard to feed my family! That way I support my family AND the economy.

[@Prik0307]

Our school never taught us about the controversies and shady actions Carnegie made, we only learnt about the good he had done and how it revolutionised the world. Looking at the video I think Carnegie did more good than harm but schools should show us the whole picture and let us make our decision and opinion.

[@THE_MOONMAN]

I mean you know who funded the US school system right? The Rockefeller's lol. The same people who built that system directly before from the people having positive feelings towards figures such as Andrew Carnegie. These guys built these systems, and thus had the ability to control how these systems view them. it's hard to say if they did more good or bad, I reckon I don't know enough to make that judgement. But they definitely used their positions to affect how we judge them, and for that I error on the skeptical side of how I view their character. How much of our positive view is because they want us to see them that way? An interesting line of thinking at the very least

[@michelleobrien6996]

[@EndingSimple]

While watching this I just realized the real reason he gave away so much money to create libraries all over the United States. I was watching this and started to think it was a little bit of an extreme attack on him. And then I thought about why I thought that. And that was because I had read a biography of him when I was younger. That had been a book that was in a LIBRARY. He donated so many libraries to the United States so that he could dry up any possible market for a book that might be critical of him. Libraries would not want to bite the hand that created them. And libraries are main customers for books. Carnegie had created a safe way to make sure that his narrative of his life would be the one that would prevail. Thank god for the internet.

[@ayomidetoluhi3408]

You mean GOD

[@friendlyfire7861]

True, just realize that government was a great hand in his success, just as it is with all monopolists, and likewise paints itself as a benevolent force. See 35:20 to remind yourself of the true force behind putting down the Homestead strike. Roosevelt originally wanted to say military-industrial-legislative complex--did you know that? They successfully convinced him to leave that out so they could burnish their image.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

I agree with you. At least you can see through someone's BS. I also think he may have done it for PR purposes. In this day and age we call that virtue signaling.

He didn't present a balanced view. This video was full of "nudging" toward thinking business is bad and by implication government good. Did you notice that the real muscle behind putting down the Homestead strike was by government militia? Go to 35:20 if you missed it. This is the same stuff I heard all the way back in high school; the author apparently never grew intellectually. It's informative, but it's not "balanced." You really need to step back a little. My high school teacher said almost all the exact same things as this fellow; it's well presented, but the substance is tendentious. Also, try watching some of it at 2x without sound.

Crazy, I remember reading in both the "Law of Success" and "Think and Grow Rich" how much Napoleon Hill idolized and showed reverence towards Carnegie. Constantly used as an example in many teachings. I wonder if he knew the true nature and character of Andrew Carnegie, for his writings and some of the lessons are contrary to who Carnegie truly was.

[@gm2407]

Hill was a conman. It is unlikely Carnegie tasked him or provided him anything for his work. Like all the modern conmen he said enough to keep you on the hook and nothing that anyone hadn't seen or thought of before. What useually stopped people growing rich is a deficiency in ability, contacts to raise finance or willingness to screw people over. One or more of these things.

[@jpmoney91]

@@gm2407 That's the sentiment of a lot of individuals. I'm definitely aware of the fact. Regardless, it doesn't take away from the message and lessons/teachings. He has recycled previous works of others. That is a fact. I'm specifically talking about the picture painted by him in regards to Carnegie and his character.

[@gm2407]

@@jpmoney91 Characterisation and true character can be very far from each other. One is spin and the other is based on actions taken. At best we have a detailed picture which is incomplete. At worst we have charactisations painting on the historical evidence. Much like every historical figure really. If you want to be the rich magnate the he would be a hero and role model to mantel. If you fall short in that regard and do not want to be exploited then he is an opressor of people. Seems like a good thing to remember, that everyone is in competition, do not undersell your worth, or you never catch up. Also I can't imagine Hill would want to impart a negative characterisation on Carnegie when he is trying to sell a dream to people to buy his book. But that might just be an assumption I have of the desperate audience of the time period. I have seen others sell their systems as never mind the morals and ethics, if it is legal, or you can get the law changed that is all that matters, do what you need to. But probably seen to much Dan Pena. He has a much catchier way of putting it.

[@jpmoney91]

@@gm2407 I'm very aware of the hypocrisies of these so called gurus. That was the whole underlying point of my initial comment. Your average person wouldn't know the differing viewpoints on Carnegie though. You just made a deeper assessment of the fact. Appreciate you going above and beyond on it though.

Just think of all the people he killed while profiteering- how does any philanthropy make up for the suffering “I’ll meet you in hell” Carnegie knew.

You're awesome, thank you for these great videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mjkk-nx3mk]

Thank you for the content and the video. I enjoyed watching it. And I like learning about the men that built and shaped this country over a century and a half ago. But I have to stop to wonder if these men may have made different choices and different decisions and acted in different ways. How different the country may look and be today. For one they wouldn’t be them and their stories would be different. But so much at the time was surrounded in greed, revenge and putting competition and rivals out of business. And the underhanded things to achieve that end. It just seems to me to be magnified like 10 fold today. And the same names control a lot of the business that goes on in the world today. Using the tactics to stay on top of the heap and in control of things. I think you may have been right in his later years. I think he was trying to atone for some demons that were haunting him. Which it appeared he could have many. I understand the drive, the ambition, the vision and the ability. I find it hard to understand the treatment of those that worked for him. Because he was unable to carry out his own abuse of those that worked for him. To hire someone that could carry things out and see them through. In business it’s understandable to a point. But it’s an example of. Making a different choice in how to deal with or direction to take. What comes to mind is the Hershey empire. He went in a different direction. He took care of his people at the time when they needed it and affected his employees the most. There was a different loyalty between both parties. Sometimes it’s not always about the check at the end of the week. People are willing to work for less an hour. If being compensated in other ways. Like housing, education, a safe place to raise a family. I find that true from personal experience. Working in a factory. The managers used money as an incentive. That money turned out to be a decisive and demotivator. Then I also had a job in a group home setting. Where I lived on the property in my own place and had my meals taken care of. The people I worked with could never figure out why I never pushed or got upset about not getting a raise. They couldn’t see or seem to figure it out. When adding up the extras living on the property rent and utility free. Made up for anything else I could have gotten. If I would have had to pay rent and utilities. I was farther ahead working for less than an hour. And wasn’t driven by the money. I think at the end of his life. I don’t think he was name and recognition seeking. His name was already connected to bridges and builds. I think he truly wanted to give back. The best way he knew how. And trying to settle with his demons. In the end only God can judge our hearts and deeds. It’s his call where we end up.

Dang! I really love your editing skills. It's totally dope 😎

[@zSyrex]

MagnatesMedia never disappoints

[@LeeCoins]

The real takeaway should be that, while it did take an incredible amount of grit and determination, it also took the mentorship of an older and wiser person to help guide the path. Many people in life go through it with the same level of grit and determination, they just never meet that person. For every success story ive heard in my life, there was an equally compelling story about that time it might not have worked, if not for this one thing working in their favor. So while a lot of takes hard work, a lot of it is also luck. We're all doing just fine by being alive! Remember, no matter how much or how big, we can't take it with us, and it wont prevent the inevitable. Have a good day 😊

[@OBsurdityTV]

Life is a lot of luck and Opportunity

[@lastochka100]

Is luck and destiny almost the same thing? 🤔

[@idoshulman6379]

I would say that while it did take luck and determination, the deciding factor is being a ruthless businessman and not caring for your workers

[@friendlyfire7861]

I agree. There were a lot of delivery boys who did the same thing as Carnegie, surely. It takes nothing away from him to say that among the 200 kids ilke him, some luck was involved. I think every success comes on a foundation of hard work and preparation, but it's gotta rain, too, and you can't control that.

[@Konayo_]

What the shit is this take away? We learned about an egoistic maniac with only one goal: money the take away should be that there are way too many ruthless, unempathetic people out there - and in our system, they even gain power with their behaviour
