Publisher's Synopsis
""Wealth And Its Uses"" is a non-fiction book written by the renowned American industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. In this book, Carnegie shares his views on the accumulation and distribution of wealth. He argues that the accumulation of wealth is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end, which is to improve the lives of others. Carnegie believes that the wealthy have a responsibility to use their wealth for the greater good of society, and he outlines various ways in which this can be achieved. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Carnegie discusses the origins of wealth and the benefits it brings to society. He argues that wealth is created through innovation, hard work, and entrepreneurship, and that it is essential for the progress of civilization. In the second part, Carnegie addresses the responsibilities of the wealthy. He argues that those who have amassed wealth have a duty to use it for the benefit of society. He suggests that philanthropy is the best way to do this, and he provides examples of his own philanthropic efforts, including the establishment of libraries and other public institutions. In the final part of the book, Carnegie discusses the dangers of excessive wealth and the need for moderation. He argues that excessive wealth can lead to corruption and moral decay, and that it is important for the wealthy to use their wealth wisely and responsibly. Overall, ""Wealth And Its Uses"" is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the mind of one of the most successful and philanthropic businessmen in history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the role of wealth in society and the responsibilities of the wealthy.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Empire of Business, by Andrew Carnegie.
