These are two chapters from a book.
The first essay, by Henry George, shows that he believes wealth is not being distributed fairly among people. He opposes the fact that wealth should remain within a small group. He claims that those in the top economic class get their money unfairly, that they create a monopoly, a practice which he believes will only harm society. He believes it is everyone's duty to fix this.
The second essay disagrees with the first viewpoint. Andrew Carnegie believes that it is everyone's own duty to gain wealth, and also that not everyone can become wealthy. He does not see this as a negative. He does not think people should be given aid they themselves did not work for, and that everyone has to achieve success on their own.
