A penny saved can be a penny earned, just as a penny spent can begin to improve the world. Andrew Carnegie, a man known for his wealth, certainly knew the value of a dollar. His successful business ventures in the railway industry, steel industry and communications have earned him a multi-million dollar fortune. In contrast to greed, Carnegie made sure he had what he needed to live a comfortable life and put what remained of his fortune towards caring for the general public and improving their communities. He emphasized the idea that generosity is superior to arrogance. Carnegie believes that the fact that the rich are generous to their community, rather than living an ostentatious lifestyle, shows that they are truly rich in wealth and heart. He also emphasized that money is more powerful in the hands of those who earn it and no one else. When he retired, Carnegie not only spent much time enriching his life by giving back; but he also often wrote about business, money, and his position on the importance of world peace. His essay “Wealth” presents what he believes are three common ways that wealthy people generally distribute their money throughout their lives and after death. In his essay “Wealth,” Andrew Carnegie appeals to logos as he defines “rich” as someone who possesses a large amount of wealth not only in materialistic terms, but also in leading an active philanthropic lifestyle. He consolidates this definition in his appeals to ethos and pathos with an emphasis on the benefits of philanthropy for the mind and body. Carnegie opens his essay by stating that there are three main ways in which most wealthy people use or distribute their money. First, some pass their money on to the next generation. Sons... in the center of the card... men of Good Will'” (186). This last statement underlines his appeal to pathos in assuming that people's overall goal is to strive for world peace. That said, readers might agree that generosity towards all is a step towards peace. Carnegie's essay contains explanations of three common methods by which wealth is distributed and his views on the effects of each. After reading the entire essay, readers can see its overall appeal to logos; having wealth doesn't make anyone rich, but using that wealth for the greater good does. He doesn't force his opinions on the reader, but is actually convincing as to why his beliefs make sense. Andrew Carnegie's simple explanations intertwined with small, but powerful appeals to ethos and pathos are incorporated into his overall appeal to logos in his definition of what it means to be truly rich.
