As a child he was poor. As an adult, he built an empire that made him the richest man in the world. Carnegie was complicated man- a completely ruthless businessman and a great philanthropist, who gave away the bulk of his fortune. We hear his story from Peter Krass, a New Hampshire writer who?s written a biography titled Carnegie. It's just come out in paperback.
