Description

Scottish-born industrialist and philanthropist (1835-1919) who earned his fortune in the burgeoning American steel industry. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away around $350 million ($10.9 billion in 2023 dollars), almost 90 percent of his fortune, to charities, foundations, and universities, and his 1889 article, ‘The Gospel of Wealth,’ called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, expressed support for progressive taxation and an estate tax, and stimulated a wave of philanthropy. AQS on an off-white 3.25 x 2 card, in full: "Make Home a Heaven, Andrew Carnegie." In very fine condition.
