Andrew Carnegie

David Nasaw

Library Audiobook

Started this one at the gym today. Voice quality of the narrator is abysmal.

Carnegie say Americans work to hard in general. He says we should learn to take it easy. Really Andra? Its hard for us to take it easy when you set our wages and work environment in such a way that this is impossible. Littetally lmao at this.one.

Im at the part about Homestead. I love how Carnegie completely disassociates himself from any complicity in the decisions being made by.Frick. He tells others "well I don't like the way it's being handled but what can I do so far away?"

Typical self serving Carnegie

4/3 Today Carnegie writes Cleveland on the  silver issue. He tells him how he feels and then goes on to tell the President of the United Srates what he should say and then provides a script.for him. Such arrogance would not be repeated until our own modern time in this the second Guilded Age.

I gave up on old Andy to aggrivating! The last day I listened he was fawning over Spencer and comparing himself to Jesus. Yikes. Gag gag....

Done!
