1 answer
B. A growing gap between social classes is a major effect of the second industrial revolution as described by Carnegie. He notes that while the accumulation of wealth by a few individuals is inevitable in a capitalist society, it also leads to a widening gap between the rich and the poor. This disparity can lead to social unrest and must be addressed through philanthropic efforts by the wealthy.
