There remains, then, only one mode of using great fortunes... Under its way. We shall have an ideal state, in which the surplus wealth of the few will become, in the best sense, the property of The many, because administered for the common good, and this wealth, passing through the hands of the few, can be made a much more potent force for the election of our race than if it had been distributed in small sums to the people themselves. Even the poorest can be made to see this, and to agree that the great sums gathered by some of their fellow citizens and spent for public purposes, from which the masses reap the course of many years in trifling amounts. By Andrew Carnegie, 1889. Use the quote to answer the question. Which ideal does this passage Express? Manifest Destiny. Gospel of the wealth. Wealth of Nations. Or social darwinism.
