"wealth", more commonly known as "the gospel of wealth", is an article written by andrew carnegie in june of 1889 that describes the responsibility of philanthropy by the new upper class of self-made rich. carnegie proposed that the best way of dealing with the new phenomenon of wealth inequality was for the wealthy to utilize their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner. this approach was contrasted with traditional bequest (patrimony), where wealth is handed down to heirs, and other forms of bequest e.g. where wealth is willed to the state for public purposes. benjamin soskis, a historian of philanthropy, refers to the article as the 'urtext' of modern philanthropy.
