How does Carnegie’s version of ""civilization"" compare to yours?

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Your version of civilization would align with Carnegie´s if you consider wealth inequality as an inevitable effect of civilization, and even something that is beneficial to society. On the other hand, if you consider economical inequality as something bad, and as an unexpected effect that should be changed, your version of civilization would be contrary to that of Carnegie´s, and most likely closest to socialist and communist theories.

What did Carnegie say about civilization?

In “The Gospel of Wealth” (1889), Andrew Carnegie claims that progress requires competition, and that the advance of civilization inevitably leads to the accumulation of wealth over a small class of business owners and that inequality should not be considered as a bad thing because it´s beneficial for society.

What theories opposed Carnegie´s?

An opposite theory would be that of Karl Marx as expressed in his “The Communist Manifesto,” which doesn´t consider capitalism and its inherent inequality as the desired outcome, but as an unfair horrible social structure that could only be better through a revolution that establishes equality between the proletarians and the bourgeoisie class.

Therefore, to answer this question, you should reflect on your own ideas about inequality and decide where you stand in regards to Carnegie´s idea.
