Social Darwinism, linked to Herbert Spencer, promotes competition and justifies social inequality, while the Gospel of Wealth, advocated by Andrew Carnegie, encourages the wealthy to use their fortunes for the betterment of society. Both philosophies emerged in the late 19th century amidst rapid economic changes in America. They reflect differing views on the responsibilities of wealth and social welfare.
