The gospel of wealth
and other timely essays
Book • 1901
In 'The Gospel of Wealth,' Andrew Carnegie argues that the accumulation of wealth is not an end in itself but a means to advance civilization and alleviate human suffering.
He proposes that the wealthy should utilize their surplus means to benefit society while they are still alive, rather than leaving it to heirs or charitable organizations that might not use it wisely.
Carnegie advocates for strategic giving, collaboration, and social impact, emphasizing the responsibility of the wealthy to create opportunities for those who desire to improve their lives.
He criticizes ostentatious living and the amassing of private treasures, instead promoting a new mode of giving that is productive and beneficial to the community.
