The Surrender Experiment
Michael A. Singer
Carnegie was twelve years old when he immigrated to the United States from Scotland with his struggling family seeking a better life in America.

These became the major customers for the steel industry he was pioneering. Two key success factors were his implementation of the most advanced steel-making technology available, and his integration of such key inputs to steel production as coal, coke, and iron ore.
