The enlightening memoir of the industrialist as famous for his philanthropy as for his fortune.
His good friend Mark Twain dubbed him “St. Andrew.” British Prime
Minister William Gladstone called him an “example” for the wealthy. Such
terms seldom apply to multimillionaires. But Andrew Carnegie was no
run-of-the-mill steel magnate. At age 13 and full of dreams, he sailed
from his native Dunfermline, Scotland, to America. The story of his
success begins with a $1.20-a-week job at a bobbin factory. By the end
of his life, he had amassed an unprecedented fortune—and given away more
than 90 percent of it for the good of mankind.
Here, for the
first time in one volume, are two impressive works by Andrew Carnegie
himself: his autobiography and “The Gospel of Wealth,” a groundbreaking
manifesto on the duty of the wealthy to give back to society all of
their fortunes. And he practiced what he preached, erecting 1,600
libraries across the country, founding Carnegie Mellon University,
building Carnegie Hall, and performing countless other acts of
philanthropy because, as Carnegie wrote, “The man who dies thus rich
dies disgraced.”
