Vergoldetes Zeitalter:
„Geplant sei quasi eine Art Rückkehr zum „vergoldeten Zeitalter“ nach dem US-Bürgerkrieg – also von 1865 bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Mark Twain wollte mit „vergoldet“ statt „golden“ zum Ausdruck bringen, dass es zwar einen enormen Aufschwung gab, große Teile der arbeitenden Bevölkerung daran aber nicht teil hatten und oft in elenden Verhältnissen lebten. Von der damaligen rasanten Industrialisierung profitierten vor allem Großindustrielle wie Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan und John D. Rockefeller. Diese „Räuberbarone“ genannten Unternehmer akkumulierten enormes Vermögen – durch Monopole, Zölle und einen schwachen Staat, dem sie quasi ihnen genehme Gesetze diktierten.“

Just realised I've been muddling up 'Dale' Carnegie when I meant the guy who built libraries #AndrewCarnegie, oops, 😊. That will win me friends and influence people.

@PatrickoftheG This was mentioned to me by @mpjgregoire :
"I remember reading somewhere that #AndrewCarnegie wanted to fund a library in #Montréal, but it was blocked by the Church. On the other hand, most of the libraries (and schools) that existed in #Québec prior to the 1960s had been set up by the Church in the first place. The same agency, in the same place at one point democratising information, at another point restricting it..."

#AndrewCarnegie, the richest man of his day, and his fellow members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, were directly responsible for the #Johnstown #Flood that killed over 2200 people.
Of course, that was in the benighted 19th century. In the modern 21st century, people like #ElonMusk can be responsible for the deaths of many, many more people without ever having to feel the sting of liability.

CW: Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá
"O respected personage! I have read your work, The Gospel of Wealth, and noted therein truly apposite and sound recommendations for easing the lot of humankind.
"To state the matter briefly, the Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh advocate voluntary sharing, and this is a greater thing than the equalization of wealth. For equalization must be imposed from without, while sharing is a matter of free choice.
"Man reacheth perfection through good deeds, voluntarily performed, not through good deeds the doing of which was forced upon him. And sharing is a personally chosen righteous act: that is, the rich should extend assistance to the poor, they should expend their substance for the poor, but of their own free will, and not because the poor have gained this end by force. For the harvest of force is turmoil and the ruin of the social order. On the other hand voluntary sharing, the freely-chosen expending of one’s substance, leadeth to society’s comfort and peace. It lighteth up the world; it bestoweth honour upon humankind.
"I have seen the good effects of your own philanthropy in America, in various universities, peace gatherings, and associations for the promotion of learning, as I travelled from city to city. Wherefore do I pray on your behalf that you shall ever be encompassed by the bounties and blessings of heaven, and shall perform many philanthropic deeds in East and West. Thus may you gleam as a lighted taper in the Kingdom of God, may attain honour and everlasting life, and shine out as a bright star on the horizon of eternity."
