> Why, then, do we all object to brigandage? We cannot object on the ground that the brigand has no right to the rich man's property, since the rich man is merely the descendant or legal heir of some earlier brigand. We object because law and order are desirable, and when men have acquired property by force it is usually desirable to confirm their possession by legal enactment.

> David Nasaw, who has written biographies of Andrew Carnegie, William Randolph Hearst, and Joseph P. Kennedy, “This new species of rich men needed some rationale, some moral justification for the accumulation of this wealth. They needed, in a very visceral, intimate sense, a sign that their wealth was not a matter of chance or crime or robbery, that they were not simply robber barons, but that what they were doing was beneficial to all of mankind.”
