SOCIAL DARWINISM Pocket

Darwinism Survival of the fittest.

Social Darwinism Darwin’s theory of evolution applies to society and business. Pictured is Herbert Spencer.

Social Darwinism Principles  Competition was natural law.  Government should not interfere with business (no regulation/welfare function)  The strongest businesses would survive.

The Working Poor

Social Darwinism Question Predict how the theory of Social Darwinism will affect the lives of the working poor at the turn of the century (1900).

Applied to Society  Riches were a sign of God’s favor.  Poor were responsible for their fate.  The poor, were by definition, unfit.  If you were poor you must be lazy or inferior.  Otherwise, you would not be poor.

Should the Government Help the Poor? There was no need for social legislation (welfare, today) or to change the way businesses operated. Does this sound familiar? Laissez-faire

William Graham Sumner, America’s foremost Social Darwinist. Yale Professor who taught, “it was each against all, struggling to survive in an economic jungle. Money and power were the measures of success; increasing productivity the clearest sign of progress.”
