LAD #21 Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth

Andrew Carnegie was successful in the iron and steel business. In the Gospel of Wealth, he teaches how someone should handle money and how to protect it. He also talked about how wealthy people are needed in society to keep it balanced and they are helpful in distributing money and helping those who are less fortunate. Carnegie followed the guidelines he created and funded many libraries, as well as the University, Carnegie Mellon.

Pictures: I chose a picture of Andrew Carnegie and a picture of John Purdue who was a wealthy industrialist who also funded a college, Purdue University that would be named after him. Carnegie and Purdue were both successful men that used their money to fund a school for education that would continue to run and be attended for many years to come.
