"Gospel of Wealth" describes Andrew Carnegie's philosophy.

The 'Gospel of Wealth' was an article composed by Andrew Carnegie in 1889. Carnegie, a steel tycoon, contended that extremely well off men like him had a duty to utilize their riches for greater benefit of society. It's a break with the individualist account that we are frequently given. It addressed issues of commitment, heritage, and community as imperative qualities. It’s a manifesto for philanthropy.
