About this audiobook

Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist, built an empire in steel and dedicated his later life to transforming society through philanthropy. Born in 1835 in Dunfermline, Scotland, Carnegie emigrated to the United States, where he became one of the wealthiest individuals during the Gilded Age. This biography explores his rise in the steel industry, his role in shaping modern capitalism, and his belief in the “Gospel of Wealth,” which led him to donate much of his fortune to libraries, education, and the arts. Carnegie’s contributions, including Carnegie Hall and countless libraries, continue to benefit society. This book celebrates his legacy as a self-made industrialist and a visionary philanthropist who believed in sharing wealth for the common good.
