Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919) was the founder of the Carnegie Steel Company (which later became U.S. Steel) and one of the wealthiest men in the world in the late 1800s. A Scottish-American, Carnegie is famous for amassing enormous wealth while paying low wages to his workers, and then giving away his fortune to libraries, universities, and the arts, and to projects such as world peace.

Carnegie was the author of The Gospel of Wealth. He suppported the League of Nations [1] and was an advocate of the inheritance tax.
