Neuschrecken<p><b>Vergoldetes Zeitalter</b>: </p><p class="">„Geplant sei quasi eine Art Rückkehr zum „vergoldeten Zeitalter“ nach dem US-Bürgerkrieg – also von 1865 bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Mark Twain wollte mit „vergoldet“ statt „golden“ zum Ausdruck bringen, dass es zwar einen enormen Aufschwung gab, große Teile der arbeitenden Bevölkerung daran aber nicht teil hatten und oft in elenden Verhältnissen lebten. Von der damaligen rasanten Industrialisierung profitierten vor allem Großindustrielle wie Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan und John D. Rockefeller. Diese „Räuberbarone“ genannten Unternehmer akkumulierten enormes Vermögen – durch Monopole, Zölle und einen schwachen Staat, dem sie quasi ihnen genehme Gesetze diktierten.“</p><p class="">via <a href="https://orf.at/stories/3383387/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Massiver Umbau des Staates | orf.at</a></p><p></p><p>Permalink: <a href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/314/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://schoenswetter.servus.at/314/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/andrew-carnegie/" target="_blank">#andrewCarnegie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/government/" target="_blank">#government</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/j-p-morgan/" target="_blank">#JPMorgan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/john-d-rockefeller/" target="_blank">#JohnDRockefeller</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/kapitalismus/" target="_blank">#kapitalismus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/mafia/" target="_blank">#mafia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/oligarchie/" target="_blank">#oligarchie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/orf-at/" target="_blank">#orfAt</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/takeover/" target="_blank">#takeover</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/trump-ii/" target="_blank">#trumpII</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://schoenswetter.servus.at/tag/uspol/" target="_blank">#uspol</a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>Maryhill Public Library in Glasgow. Built in 1903, it was one of the first wave of libraries built in the city using funds provided by Andrew Carnegie, and is one of seven designed by James R. Rhind. While Carnegie libraries elsewhere in the UK were primarily brick-built, those in Scotland, like this one in Maryhill, were mostly built from stone. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/carnegielibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>carnegielibraries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhilllibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maryhilllibrary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/andrewcarnegie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>andrewcarnegie</span></a></p>
