LAD #21: Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth
Carnegie begins the Gospel of Wealth by stating the the rich and poor are divided. They were once similar homes, clothes, and food and it has changed dramatically. The far relationship does have advantages though because they will have nice arts and it will show human progression. Carnegie believes wealth can be distributed three ways with surplus wealth disposed. One way is passing down money through family, next is by giving it to the public, and lastly is by distributing the money equally, kind of like communism. The first way happens because the family loves their child. This may hurt them though because it is a burden to let them gain this money. The second way of giving money to the public is the only proper way of giving money. After his death, he left his money to build libraries, colleges, and philanthropy. Carnegie was a wise man who became one of the most successful businessmen of America.
