LAD#21

After reading "Andrew Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth", this is the summary I came up with:

In this, Andrew Carnegie talks about how wealth should be spread by paying for socially beneficial projects. The way he saw it, the rich and the poor should both benefit from the economic boom together. He continues on to talk about how the lives of the middle class citizens have changed and that the social classes are more defined than ever. Andrew Carnegie believed that the rich got their money and there wealth from the poorer people, so the rich, like himself, should give back to the people, hopefully creating a better world in the process. He concludes by saying that rich people have the job of setting an example for future generations on what to do with their cash.
