His name may be familiar – but how much do you really know about Andrew Carnegie? In this week’s episode, Jackie and her guest introduce you to a man who was once the richest individual on the planet, explaining both how he made his wealth and why he started to give it away.

Whether you’re familiar with his origins in Scotland or know only of some of his achievements in the US, this episode will introduce you to a fascinating entrepreneur of the past.

Joining Jackie is author, biographer and historian David Nasaw, and we take a trip to the Trust’s own Weaver’s Cottage to discover what life would have been like for Andrew and his family.
