Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate, wrote the definitive essay on philanthropy, *The Gospel of Wealth*. He argued that extreme inequality is the price of civilization, but that the wealthy have a moral obligation to give their money away during their lifetimes. 'The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced. ' He believed that money should be used to build ladders—libraries, universities, parks—so that the ambitious poor could climb them.
