'Capitalism is about turning luxuries into necessities.'
When Carnegie began, steel trim was a luxury.
When he retired it was standard.
By raising productivity you could slash prices
and so raised living standards.
No president, no Congress was able of bringing
comparable material benefits to all Americans.
'The only decent motiv for the production of wealth
is the betterment of mankind.'
'The old nations of the earth creep at a snail's pace.
The Republic thunders past with the rush of an express.'
Carnegie was a more important man than any president
from Lincoln to Wilson.
