What did carnegie see as the problem during the time of his writing in the essay gospel of wealth?

When Andrew Carnegie wrote the article “Gospel of Wealth”, he was addressing the problem of wealth inequality.  The article illustrates the social responsibility of the rich and suggests that they should reallocate their excess well in a sympathetic and sensible way.  A good example of this was through giving endowments that improve the lives of people and help them better themselves and those around them.  Carnegie himself set up libraries that people can use for their benefit.  He also required that the local government must issue and ordinance to create a tax to maintain the library after the intial grant was used in the building educational materials for the library.
