Carnegie Attacks Socialism in Speech on Labor and Progress
The speaker brands Socialism a false label and argues that social advancement comes from individual effort and reform within existing systems. He likens Socialism to a hare versus the tortoise, favoring steady, gradual improvement and urging focus on present duties rather than speculative future shifts. The speech aligns with his Gospel of Wealth, arbitration support, labor-capital partnership, and defense of public utility rights.
