Is Andrew carnegie a robber baron or captain of the industry?
He is both depending how you look at it. He is a robber baron in the sense that he made a lot of money, created a monopoly, bought all the steel companies, and bought all the iron companies and paid his workers very little. But on the other hand he is a captain of the industry because he thought of something so revolutionary and something that changed the world and how things work forever and was a great innovator. He also gave back a lot by making Carnegie Hall in NYC and making many colleges, one being in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. That is ironic since it's the steel city.

he invetned the steel industury -- Actually he was the "main guy" in the oil industry. Carnegie was steel. I would say he is a Robber Baron because he started a monopoly and basically told other oil companies that they would either have to sign a trust (which basically allows him to take over their business and give a small dividend to the trustee) or he would run them out of business. --

John W Mackay was the opposite of a Robber Baron. He brought competition to the telegraph industry and reduced the price of telegraphs. He treated his workers fairly. The Robber Barons established cartels and cheated their workers. They ran sweat shops. They kept prices unnecessarily high. They destroyed competition.
