"The Gospel of Wealth" is an article written by Andrew Carnegie in June 1889 that describes the responsibility of philanthropy by the new upper class of self-made rich. Carnegie proposed that the best way of dealing with the new phenomenon of wealth inequality was for the wealthy to redistribute their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner. This approach was in contrast with traditional bequest (patrimony), where wealth is handed down to heirs, and other forms of bequest e.g. where wealth is willed to the state for public purposes. Carnegie argued that surplus wealth is put to best use (i.e. produces the greatest net benefit to society) when it is administered carefully by the wealthy. Carnegie also argues against wasteful use of capital in the form of extravagance, irresponsible spending, or self-indulgence, instead promoting the administration of said capital over the course of one's lifetime toward the cause of reducing the stratification between the rich and poor. As a result, the wealthy should administer their riches responsibly and not in a way that encourages "the slothful, the drunken, the unworthy".

Words of wisdom from American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie Focusing on Carnegie's most famous essay, "The Gospel of Wealth," this book of his writings, published here together for the first time, demonstrates the late steel magnate's beliefs on wealth, poverty, the public good, and capitalism. Carnegie's commitment to ensuring and promoting the welfare of his fellow human beings through philanthropic deeds ranged from donations to universities and museums to establishing more than 2,500 public libraries in the English-speaking world, and he gave away more than $350 million toward those efforts during his lifetime. The Gospel of Wealth is an eloquent testament to the importance of charitable giving for the public good.

Discover Your Hidden Reservoirs of Power Ralph Waldo Trine’s In Tune With the Infinite is one of the most significant works of mind-power ever published. When the book first appeared in 1897 few Americans had heard terms like “Law of Attraction,” “Higher Power,” or “Positive Thinking”—Trine introduced these themes and others into mainstream life, teaching millions how to tap the creative faculties of higher thought. Now, historian Mitch Horowitz condenses and reintroduces Trine’s masterwork for a new generation of readers. In this book, you will discover the simple, persuasive, and alluring lessons that popularized transcendental thought throughout the world. What’s more, you will learn how to use the mystical forces within you for the betterment of yourself and those you love. Discover: The simple phrase that brings you in tune with the infinite. The source of all power—and how it is ever-waiting to serve you. The proper frame of mind to attract money. The secret truth that unites all religions. Ralph Waldo Trine, Mitch writes in his introduction, “brought to everyday Americans ideas that were jarring, fresh, anti-mainstream, and transcendent. That such themes of spiritual possibility sound so familiar to us in the twenty-first century is testament to the author’s legacy.”

'The Gospel of Wealth' (1889), prosperity classic by Scottish-American business magnate Andrew Carnegie.

Excerpt from The Gospel of Wealth: And Other Timely Essays T is a great pleasure to tell how I served my apprenticeship as a business man. But there seems to be a question preceding this: Why did I become a business man? I am sure that I should never have selected a business career if I had been permitted to choose. The eldest son of parents who were themselves poor, I had, fortunately, to begin to perform some useful work in the world while still very young in order to earn an honest livelihood, and was thus shown even in early boyhood that my duty was to assist my parents and, like them, become, as soon as possible, a bread-winner in the family. What I could get to do, not what I desired, was the question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
