He was a robber baron because he used unethical tactics to defeat his steel company competitors and exploited his workers. In other words, he stole from both other companies and his employees.

Carnegie also charged his customers less than his costs so that they would buy from him rather than from his competitors.

He stole from his employees by underpaying and overworking them.
