Read article →Andrew Carnegie's 1889 essay "The Gospel of Wealth" remains one of the most influential arguments for philanthropic responsibility ever written. Carnegie argued that extreme concentrations of wealth were an inevitable product of capitalism, but that the rich were merely trustees of that wealth on behalf of society, obligated to distribute it wisely rather than pass it to heirs.
