Andrew Carnegie used Social Darwinism by pitting workers against each other, and firing employees who didn't perform to his expectations. He was a huge believer in Laissez Faire Capitalism (Which is French for 'leave alone') which in its truest form is industry without government intervention. He used Social Darwinism against other companies. :)

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Carnegie used the doctrine of Social Darwinism to support his argument in that he confronted workers against each other and threatening them to the degree of firing them if those workers did produce as he demanded them to do. If they were not productive, they were fired.

We are talking about millionaire Andrew Carnegie, owner of the Steel Company in the United States. In Social Darwinism, people such as Carnegie or John Rockefeller -the owner of the Standard Oil company used the concept of value the measure of people. For them, the wealthiest were the fittest. The poor were condemned to stay at the bottom of the social class.
