Trace the journey of the "Star-Spangled Scotchman" from a penniless weaver’s son in Dunfermline to the richest man in the world. Dr. Abigail Markwyn, Professor of History at Carroll University, will explore Carnegie’s double life, from ruthless industrialist to visionary philanthropist. Learn about his philosophy on wealth, his impact on the American Industrial Revolution, and the personal motivations that led him to give away 90% of his fortune.
