He was a big fan, and thought it was very much a force for good: it kept people employed, fed, and if they did things right, wealthy. The excess benefits could be used to educate and otherwise elevate those less fortunate, and he had a lot of experience with this: he came from Scotland with a good deal less than your average penniless immigrant.

He lived for a while in the rottenest part of Pittsburgh, and when he got enough money he bought it all up and built the first of his many concert halls and libraries. A few years later he bought about twelve blocks and built a bigger one, the Carnegie Institute. It's still there, and in case anyone forgets, it says "Free To the People" right up there on the front door.
