Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist who led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century. His company, Carnegie Steel, was a major player in the growth of the U.S. economy, and he is often credited with helping to usher in the era of modern industrialization. Beyond his business ventures, Carnegie was a prominent advocate for education and libraries, famously donating vast sums to establish public libraries across the United States and the UK.
