Mr. Carnegie's Conundrum, 40,000,000 Pounds

Mr. Carnegie's Conundrum, 40,000,000 Pounds: What Shall I Do With It? is a book written by William Thomas Stead in the year 1900. The book is a reflection on the life and legacy of the wealthy American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who had recently sold his steel company for a staggering sum of 40 million pounds. The author explores the question of what one should do with such a vast amount of wealth and how it can be used to benefit society. Stead examines Carnegie's philanthropic efforts, including the establishment of libraries and other public institutions, and argues that the wealthy have a moral obligation to use their resources to improve the lives of others. The book also delves into the broader social and economic issues of the time, including the growing divide between the rich and poor and the need for social reform. Overall, Mr. Carnegie's Conundrum is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the responsibilities that come with great wealth and the potential for positive change that it can bring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
