Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth
- his wealth was based mostly on steel and iron for railroads and railways
- also based on his ambition
- believed that the rich had a responsibility to give back to the community
- said that there were three ways to give wealth back
- give it to your relatives after you are dead
- leave it to a charity foundation/organization in your will
- give it away to society during your lifetime
- believed the third option was the best, so he supported death taxes
- the government takes a large share of your estate after you die to encourage you to give away the money before death
