The Gospel of Wealth and Social Darwinism were prominent ideologies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known as the Gilded Age era. This period was characterized by rapid industrialization, wealth accumulation, and growing social inequality in the United States.
Social Darwinism was associated with the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the Gilded Age in the United States and the Industrial Revolution in Europe. It drew inspiration from Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and applied it to society, justifying inequality and competition as natural and necessary for progress.
The super rich of the industrial era sought monopolies, where they could have complete dominance of an industry without any competition. They thus believed that the marketplace works in similar ways to that of nature, where only the fittest survive and those unable to compete become extinct. In this way, they were "Social Darwinists", and Andrew Carnegie's monopoly of the steel industry was no exception.
The mass industrialization in Britain opened a Pandora' Box of social problems connected to the period. These included mass poverty, a lack of education of the masses, social problems such as alcoholism and child labor. Social responsibility by the upper classes treated the solving of these problems as a duty because of their elevated social status. In general, this involved providing direct help or that administered via the social agencies for those less privileged as a result of the rigid class system of the time.
Rich Victorian children did not typically work in paid employment. They were often educated at home or in private schools and focused on developing social skills and pursuing leisure activities. Working-class children in the Victorian era, however, often had to work in factories, mines, or as domestic servants to help support their families.
The Progressive Era began with the modified theory of Social Darwinism and the eminent corruption within their government.
