The First major issue between the capitalist and the working class was possibly what the middle-class thought of the Fat Cats. The common people thoroughly believed that what these titans produced were the leading cause of corruption. The Capitalist created a way to defend against this was Social Darwinism, a form of survival of the fittest which did not decrease the ability of individual advancement. Social Darwinism was the idea of taking Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and applying it to mankind and society. The Gospel of Wealth was an attempt to lighten the idea of Social Darwinism. it argued that the more wealth you have increases the the amount of responsibility you have to increase social progress.
