LAD #17 Andrew Carnegie: The Gospel Of Wealth, 1889

Andrew Carnegie defied most peoples perceptions of billionaires, by giving away lot's of his money to different charities. There used to not be that big of a difference between the rich and the poor, but as time has progressed the gap has widened. A large gap between rich and poor is not neccessarily a bad thing, if there weren't wealthy people there might never have been art as we know it today. Peoples goals shouldn't be wealth, but to gain competence. There are three different ways to gain wealth, to inherit wealth, get it from the public, or gotten from possessors. The fact that wealthy people have higher taxes demonstrates public opinion towards wealth. Wealthy people should not be showy or ostentatious.
