For that reason I am a fan of your podcast. I’m surprised however that any student of history would use a term like ‘Robber-Baron’ in a serious discussion of American history. I grew up in a working-class town in Michigan with a ‘Carnegie Library’. I remember the plaque inside the door describing the $200,000 construction cost and how Carnegie had personally paid for it and 2500 others like it around the world. This was my first exposure to the concept of philanthropy and it changed my view of the world. If not for Carnegie, there would have never been a library in my town and many others like it. This was the first time I’d heard of philanthropy and the concept amazed me. It still does. As far as ‘assuaging his guilt’, I really doubt the accuracy of that quote. That doesn’t sound like Carnegie to me. In future podcasts, please stay with the facts and leave the political opinion to MSNBC. Thanks, Jeff Ward Dear Candice and Katie,
