| book description |

In The Tycoon and the Bard, well-known Scots actor and Burns expert John Cairney tells the story of how the richest man in the world was inspired by Scotlandâ€™s greatest poet. Cairney concentrates on the life of Scottish American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, arguing that the ideas of the romantic Scottish poet Robert Burns formed a strong influence on Carnegie from his early education to the end of his life. The Tycoon and the Bard shows the connections between these two great Scots, revealing unexpected aspects of each manâ€™s life and drawing out the chain of influence that Burnsâ€™ poetry had on Carnegieâ€™s social beliefs about fortune, fate and fairness.
