"Advantages of Poverty," by Andrew Carnegie, is a dynamic book that
encapsulates the life and wisdom of the millionaire philanthropist
with brief biographical information along with portions of his
other essays. You will discover the attitude of selfless giving
that motivated this innovative businessman who helped various
communities, charities, and organizations to achieve greater
success during his day. The wisdom of the steel tycoon who
immigrated from Scotland will undoubtedly inspire you to recognize
the advantages of an exceptional work ethic that overcomes poverty
and lack. "I have had to deal with great sums. Many millions of
dollars have since passed through my hands. But the genuine
satisfaction I had from that one dollar and twenty cents outweighs
any subsequent pleasure in money-getting. It was the direct reward
of honest, manual labor." --ANDREW CARNGIE

The influence of free and universal education, together with that
of political institutions which at every point inculcate
self-respect and stimulate ambition, must be accorded much weight
in keeping the Republic the freest of all civilized nations from
pauperism and crime.-from "Pauperism and Crime"Subtitled "Fifty
Years' March of the Republic," this is steel tycoon Andrew
Carnegie's love letter to America, first published in 1886, an
impassioned celebration of the American success story, and a call
for other nations to follow in America's footsteps. Through simple,
direct discussions of the nature of the American character and her
jobs and education, religion, industry, art and literature, foreign
affairs, and more, Carnegie sets out a case for a brand of
conservative democracy for the world to emulate. Ironies aside-the
United States of today is no longer the nation Carnegie was
extolling-this is a stirring portrait of an America of the past...
and one that could be again.Also available from Cosimo Classics:
Carnegie's An American Four-in-Hand in Britain, Round the World,
and Autobiography.Entrepreneur and philanthropist ANDREW CARNEGIE
(1835-1919) was born in Scotland and emigrated to America as a
teenager. His Carnegie Steel Company launched the steel industry in
Pittsburgh, and after its sale to J.P. Morgan, he devoted his life
to philanthropic causes. His charitable organizations built more
than 2,500 public libraries around the world, and gave away more
than $350 million during his lifetime.
This work is the enlightening memoir of an industrialist as famous
for his philanthropy as for his fortune. Original.
Andrew Carnegie, the great steel-baron-turned-philanthropist,
was an industrialist unlike any other. His famous dictum, that he
who dies rich dies disgraced, has inspired a generation of
twenty-first-century philanthropists to follow in his footsteps and
put their money towards philanthropic causes. He had an unwavering
belief in distributing wealth for good, and systematically and
deliberately gave away the bulk of his riches throughout his
lifetime.
Born in 1835, he emigrated with his family to the United States
from Scotland at a young age. His first job was in a cotton
factory, and he later worked as an errand boy. The industrial age
brought great opportunities for Mr. Carnegie. With drive and hard
work, he amassed a fortune as a steel tycoon, and by adulthood the
errand boy was one of the richest and most generous men in the
United States. A strong dedication to giving back guided him
throughout his life and career. During his own lifetime, he put his
ideas into action by creating a family of organizations that
continue to work toward improving the human condition, advancing
international peace, strengthening democracy, and creating social
progress that benefits men, women and children both in the United
States and around the globe.
Here, in the reissue of the classic autobiography that has
inspired generations, is the rags-to-riches tale of the life and
philosophies of one of the most celebrated industrialists and
philanthropists in history. From his humble beginnings as a poor
Scottish immigrant to his immense success in business, Andrew
Carnegie outlines the principles that he lived by and that today
serve as the pillars of modern philanthropy.
