Andrew Carnegie

By John Walters on Monday, November 25, 2002.

As a child he was poor. As an adult, he built an empire that made him the richest man in the world. Carnegie was complicated man- a completely ruthless businessman and a great philanthropist, who gave away the bulk of his fortune. We hear his story from Peter Krass, a New Hampshire writer who?s just written a new biography of Carnegie. It's titled ?Carnegie? and is published by John Wiley & Sons.
