#74 Andrew Carnegie

Introduction

Nothing stranger ever came out of the story of this poor Scotch boy who came to America and step by step, through many trials and triumphs, became the great steel-master, built up a colossal industry, amassed an enormous fortune, and then deliberately and systematically gave away the whole of it for the enlightenment and betterment of mankind. Not only that. He established a gospel of wealth that can be neither ignored nor forgotten and set a pace in distribution that succeeding millionaires have followed as a precedent.

Okay. So that's from the introduction of the book that I'm going to talk to you about today, which is the autobiography of Andrew Carnegie. And for today, I'm going to try not to duplicate and cover things I covered in last week’s podcast because last week, we got an introduction to both Andrew Carnegie and Henry Frick. So the focus of today is going to be things that are actually unique to this book. I'm just going to jump right into his early childhood, oh, by the way, if I sound a little funny, I'm a little under the weather.
