How did Carnegie justify not giving his workers higher pay?

Andrew Carnegie justified not giving his workers higher pay by arguing that higher wages would lead to inefficiencies and ultimately harm the company's competitiveness. He believed in the "Gospel of Wealth," which posited that the rich had a responsibility to use their wealth for the greater good, rather than simply distributing it as higher wages. Carnegie also emphasized the importance of providing jobs and opportunities for workers, suggesting that the overall benefits of employment outweighed the need for increased pay.

What happens when minimum wage is set above the equilibrium level by law?

When the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium level, it can lead to a surplus of labor, meaning that more people are willing to work at the higher wage than there are jobs available. This can result in higher unemployment, particularly among low-skilled workers or younger individuals entering the job market. Employers may respond by reducing hours, cutting jobs, or increasing automation to manage labor costs. Overall, while some workers benefit from higher wages, the overall employment opportunities may diminish.
