Andrew Carnegie’s The Gospel of Wealth (1889) presents his philosophy on the responsibilities of the wealthy. Carnegie argues that the accumulation of wealth is natural and beneficial when used to improve society. He rejects both hoarding wealth and leaving large inheritances, viewing them as harmful. Instead, he believes the rich should act as trustees of their wealth, redistributing it thoughtfully during their lifetimes to support public good—such as education, libraries, and cultural institutions. Carnegie emphasizes that philanthropy, when paired with wise management, fosters progress and reduces social inequalities, defining the true moral duty of those who achieve great fortune.

Andrew Carnegie’s Triumphant Democracy: Fifty Years’ March of the Republic (1886) is both a tribute to and analysis of the United States’ rapid progress during its first century of independence. Carnegie contrasts the democratic ideals of the U.S. with the rigid class structures of Europe, emphasizing the nation’s spirit of equality, innovation, and economic growth. He highlights advancements in industry, infrastructure, education, and political freedom as evidence of democracy’s superiority. Carnegie believed America’s success stemmed from opportunity, individual effort, and open social mobility. The book serves as both praise for American democracy and a call for continued progress.
