2.  Some businessmen attempted to temper the
harsh philosophy of Social Darwinism with a
more gentle, if in some ways equally self-
serving, idea: the “gospel of wealth.”
 In this book, “ The Gospel of Wealth”, in which
he wrote that the wealthy should consider all
revenues in excess of their own needs as “trust
funds” to be used for the good of the
community; the person of wealth, he said, was
“the mere trustee and agent for his poorer
brethren.”

4.  Alongside the celebrations of competition, the
justifications for great wealth, and the
legitimization of the existing order stood a group
of alternative philosophies, challenging the
corporate ethos and at times capitalism itself.
 Lester Frank Ward argued that civilization was
governed not by natural selection but by human
intelligence, which was capable of shaping
society as it wished.

7.  During the time Carnegie was publishing his
book “The Gospel Wealth” in 1901, Daniel
De Leon, an immigrant from the West Indies
was making his mark in the industrial
revolution.
 He started a party called the Socialist Labor
Party in the 1870s which failed, but later in
1901 he formed the more enduring American
Socialist Party.

9.  Social Darwinism was a sociological theory popular in late
nineteenth-century Europe and the United States. More
recent historians have emphasized the social influences that
went into Darwin's theories, such as the nineteenth-century
British tendency to emphasize competition and overlook
cooperation and altruism in the natural world. Taken
together, the work of early and late twentieth-century
scholars illustrates the reciprocal influence between
science and society, as social concerns affected the
development of evolutionary theory and then that
evolutionary theory influenced later social developments.
Those are some of the things Social Darwinism theories
did for our society/culture.
