So yeah, if you want to generalize and put forth a very shoddy argument then you have to somehow explain away that book, which according to you would apply to all of them since you seem so keen on putting them in one big category.
Invoking Andrew Carnegie must be your idea of a joke.

Wealth was an essay he wrote in 1889 and he mostly tried to live by it.

He was implicated in the Johnstown Flood which many said was a conspiracy, as it just happened to wipe out his chief competitor but it was most likely poor maintenance.

If it wasn’t, then Henry Frick would be the man to examine. Frick was his partner and was rather heavy handed in his methods (gross understatement). When ever there was trouble Carnegie seemed to be out of town and Frick did the dirty work.

When he sold the business it was to that paragon of virtue, J. P. Morgan.
