About the Author
Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish-born American industrialist and philanthropist, rose from humble beginnings as an immigrant boy in Pittsburgh to become one of the wealthiest men in the world through his pioneering steel empire. A self-made titan of the Gilded Age, Carnegie embodied the American Dream while grappling with the moral responsibilities of immense fortune. In his writings, he advocated for the ethical use of wealth to benefit society, influencing generations of business leaders and reformers. His seminal essay collection, The Gospel of Wealth and Other Timely Essays, articulated his philosophy that the rich have a duty to distribute their surplus for public good, funding libraries, universities, and peace initiatives worldwide. Carnegie's legacy endures as a bridge between ruthless capitalism and compassionate philanthropy, inspiring ongoing debates on inequality and social progress.
