Description and Table of Contents

Description

In the essay, Carnegie argues that the accumulation of wealth is beneficial to society and the government should take no action to impede it. He wrote, 'The man who dies rich dies disgraced', and practiced what he preached and spent his last years giving away his vast fortune.
