#AndrewCarnegie set the standard for the richest in the world when he became the Father of Philanthropy, funding over 2,800 libraries across the world as well as museums, colleges, etc.
And of course funding the Peace Palace.
Todays richest are shameful & their legacy will be judged.
Capitalism is about turning luxury into necessity.
(資本主義の本質とは、贅沢品を必需品に変えていくことにある。)

Money is a servant, but it can be a cruel master if you're not careful.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do. —Andrew Carnegie
#AndrewCarnegie #pay #men #just
In 1887 Dewey opened the first #schooltotrainlibrarians. Many women, eager to promote/insure reading for/by women, attended. They were required to remain unmarried & were paid far less than male librarians. Libraries across the US really took off after #AndrewCarnegie provided financial help.
GUILT 🇺🇸 #Billionaires
#AndrewCarnegie was no saint when it came to #slave labor, at least he left a #legacy, creating free #libraries in beautiful #landmarked historic buildings all over USA, including #grants for #universities, #foreignstudents #science etc.
WHAT do modern day billionaires do?

Which again makes me think: #AndrewCarnegie built many local libraries, #CarnegieHall, Carnegie-Mellon University. Where are the Bezos, Musk, Buffett, Gates, Thiel, Karp libraries, universities, homes for the homeless?

#AndrewCarnegie was once the richest man in the world and concluded if he died with so much money his life would not have been worth much so he spent the last 3rd of his life donating to good causes, created 9 trusts that still champion peace & education.
That should be their role model
Thank #God for #rescuedogs and #free #libraries
While the modern day #billionaires are attacking democracy all around the world and imploding #USA for a child rapist, sex trafficking regime. Other billionaires left legacies…. #AndrewCarnegie #Libraries #Education #Students #Grants #Universities
#AndrewCarnegie - once the richest man in the world - believed passionately that learning/education weas the best way out of poverty so funded libraries and museums all over the world.
His view remains true, education is aa essential part of our lives.
Here are some photos from this evening.

Had fun.. now running over to #Carnegielibrary as they’re handing out free food.
That’s why I like #billionaires like #AndrewCarnegie that #invest in communities & create beautiful architecturally significant buildings using #nonprofits for what they’re meant!
BTW - I need 2 new #Church #roofs 🙏🏽🇺🇸pa
If OLIGARCHS can afford to spend BILLIONS on #elections then they’re not paying enough taxes!
