In this written speech by Mr. Carnegie he writes about the different ways to use wealth and which are most beneficial to the masses. He says that giving thousands of men and women more money will not do any good, but instead to allow the possessor of the money to choose what happens to it. Who's hands the money trickles down to, and that will cause some people to climb the later of success, the people that are not given a hand out. This he says will establish something that will last for generations.
In this short journal entry by Mr. Carnegie, he again speaks of wealth and its ability to help and hinder the good a person. He says that one with wealth must be careful who he gives his money out to, because not all help is good help. You may be rewarding someones inability to commit to working. But at the same time, there is also the ability to help someone who is truly in need, and would truly benefit from the money given to them. I believe Andrew Carnegie is trying to say that before you are wealthy, you must understand the impact you suddenly have on the world and people around you.
In his third article Carnegie again speaks of wealth and its various challenges. How one who is wealthy must not live frivolously and only buy what he can afford. And if he is going to give his money away to benefit a community, do it with things that allow the aspiring to rise: "parks, and means of recreation, by which men are helped in body and minds; works of art, certain to give pleasure and improve the public taste; and public institutions of various kinds, which will improve the condition of the general people."
