Drawing upon his own experiences as one of the wealthiest individuals of his time, Carnegie advocates for a new approach to philanthropy-one rooted in strategic giving, collaboration, and social impact.'The Gospel of Wealth' is more than just a treatise on philanthropy-it’s a call to action for individuals of means to embrace their responsibility to give back to society and contribute to the common good. Whether you’re a wealthy industrialist, a social reformer, or simply someone interested in the power of giving, Carnegie’s timeless wisdom offers invaluable guidance and inspiration to help you make a positive difference in the world.Join Andrew Carnegie on a journey of moral inquiry and social enlightenment as you explore the principles of philanthropy and the moral imperative of wealth.
