The Gospel of Wealth Essays and Other Writings… de Andrew Carnegie

Skipped the eponymous essay because Carnegie was a social Darwinist. I read the essay on 'how to become a man of business', which I liked.

The autobiography of Andrew Carnegie de Andrew Carnegie

A story of a man from humble beginnings, born in Dunfermline, Scotland, who rose to become one of the richest men in the world. Who then retired and tried to give it all away and along the way rubbed shoulders with some of the luminaries of the age. Sometimes comes off as too good to be true but on the face of it a great man.

The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie and the Gospel… de Andrew Carnegie

This was an unexpected find and useful read; despite the age of the book there are hidden gems and universal principles to success to be found within. Admittedly, being an autobiography, it tends to paint a rosy of picture of Mr. Carnegie's life, but still work a read about a pivotal Industrialist and businessman in the 19th century.
