Problems of To-Day

Problems of Today: Wealth, Labor, Socialism is a non-fiction book written by Andrew Carnegie in 1908. The book discusses the pressing issues of the time, including the distribution of wealth, the role of labor in society, and the growing popularity of socialist ideologies. Carnegie, a prominent industrialist and philanthropist, argues that the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small elite is a major problem facing society. He advocates for a more equitable distribution of wealth and suggests that the wealthy have a moral obligation to use their resources for the betterment of society.The book also addresses the role of labor in society, with Carnegie arguing that workers should be treated fairly and given opportunities for education and advancement. He suggests that employers have a responsibility to provide for the welfare of their employees and to create a more harmonious relationship between labor and management.Finally, Carnegie discusses the growing popularity of socialist ideologies and argues that while some of their critiques of capitalism are valid, their proposed solutions are misguided. He suggests that a more moderate approach, such as the one advocated by himself and other wealthy philanthropists, is the best way to address the problems facing society.Overall, Problems of Today: Wealth, Labor, Socialism is a thought-provoking analysis of the major issues facing society at the turn of the 20th century.
