Gospel of Wealth - Andrew Carnegie

Gospel of Wealth - Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie's "The Gospel of Wealth," originally published in 1889, addresses the critical question of how to properly administer great wealth. Carnegie advocates for philanthropy as the key to this responsibility, emphasizing the importance of funding projects that benefit the community and endure beyond the donor's lifetime. He believed that self-made wealthy individuals have an obligation to uplift the poorer classes, a principle that led him to establish over 3,000 public libraries worldwide. The themes of social responsibility and the transformative power of giving resonate strongly today, reminding us of the enduring impact that thoughtful philanthropy can have on society and the importance of investing in the common good.
