Autobiography. The Gospel of Wealth

Close friend of Carnegie, Mark Twain, nicknamed him "St. Andrew." And Prime Minister William Gladstone called him an example for the rich. Such words are rarely applied to multimillionaires. But Andrew Carnegie became a steel industry magnate for a reason.... As a dreamy 13-year-old boy, he left his hometown of Dunfermline (in Scotland) for America. His success story began with a job at a spool factory earning one dollar and twenty cents a week. By the end of his life, he had amassed incredible wealth and gave away more than ninety percent of this capital for the benefit of humanity. Here is presented for the first time a collection of materials in one volume, including two truly impressive works by Andrew Carnegie – "Autobiography" and "The Gospel of Wealth." This is a stunning manifesto about the duty that every rich person must fulfill – to give their material wealth back to society.
