I like how he hired thugs to beat union organizers and locked workers in a blast furnace in response to work condition complaints, but hey- nice theater.
Do you have a source for those? I did a bit of research on his treatment of his workers, and although his hands definitely are not clean, I found no mention of either of your claims. Furthermore this video is not attempting to paint him as a good person in the first place, so I’m not sure the relevance of your comment. Edit: fixed garbage spelling
@@futuregamer25 The relevance, as much as there is, is that he is revered as a philanthropist. The Pinkerton agency actually did the locking in, I forgot the main guys name.
So during his career he wasn't the greatest boss but he never did anything as terrible as murder and he was better than several if the other robber barons What this video is about is how when they got older him and a bunch of the other robber barons just had a ton of money and just started donating it to random causes, and they donated a lot of money to a lot of stuff, that's why their names are everywhere
Funny! While the term Ivy League was in use as early as 1933, it became official only after the formation of the athletic conference in 1954!

To answer your question a bit late, basically everything with that name slapped on it was named after him due to a large donation. I mean the money came from less than ethical business practices and his philosophy around business and money had some serious issues (both in practice and suggesting some serious character flaws), but he wasn't the worst of the robber barons and did legitimately give a _lot_ of money away and set up some good institutions that are still operating today. Not sure if I'd say the good outweighed the bad, but he did do a fair bit of good and (at least in my interpretation) probably sincerely believed in what he was doing (even if it's not entirely possible to seperate it from his self-interest), so a lot of stuff has his name.
@@TrelliessRose oh, sorry, i wanted to learn elvish, but i (of course) ended up learning 2 words, fire (lacho) and friend and somehow i messed up, even these 2!
Basically everything with the name "Carnegie" on it got a lot of money from the same guy. Tl;dr not so ethical businessman, somewhat sketch philosophy around money and business (though not the worst), but did legitimately give a lot of money away in the latter half of his life.
