安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 407
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Labor is usually helpless against capital. The employer, perhaps, decides to shut up the shops; he ceases to make profits for a short time. There is no change in his habits, food, clothing, pleasures--no agonizing fear of want. Contrast this with his workman whose lessening means of subsistence torment him. He has few comforts, scarcely the necessities for his wife and children in health, and for the sick little ones no proper treatment. It is not capital we need to guard, but helpless labor. If I returned to business to-morrow, fear of labor troubles would not enter my mind, but tenderness for poor and sometimes misguided though well-meaning laborers would fill my heart and soften it; and thereby soften theirs.

白话
卡内基指出,劳工面对资本通常很无力。雇主可以决定关厂,短期不赚钱,但生活习惯、吃穿娱乐不变,不会因匮乏而恐惧。工人却不同:收入减少就折磨他,他没什么享受,连妻儿健康时的基本生活都难保障,生病的孩子也得不到妥善治疗。所以需要保护的不是资本,而是无助的劳工。他说如果明天重回商界,不会担心劳资纠纷,而是会心疼那些贫穷、有时误入歧途但本意善良的工人,并因此软化自己的心,也软化他们的心。
