    The Gospel According to Andrew: Carnegie's Hymn to Wealth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
    Andrew Carnegie was Scottish American business magnate, industrialist, and most importantly, philanthropist, and because of this latter role and his huge positive social contributions, there is no one more suitable to write an article such as Wealth. In Wealth, more commonly known as The Gospel of Wealth, first published in 1889, Carnegie discusses the responsibilities and obligation all people of wealth have, particularly in terms of philanthropy. It is fascinating to learn of the opinions and arguments on such a subject from one of the riches individuals to have ever lived, particularly one who was behind so many large-scale altruistic ventures. ungekürzt.

    Hard Times, Hörbuch, Digital, 187min
    'Now what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life….' So says Thomas Gradgrind in Dickens' immortal story set in the North of England in the 19th century.

The greed leads to gambling and the rich rule over the poor, who suffer terribly. As Gradgrind grows older, he begins to question his stringent approach to education...though is it already too late for his own children? Language: English. Narrator: Harriet Walter.

    The tabloids were full of it. Constance Thayer, after a night of clubbing, drinks, and drugs, had taken an automatic pistol from the collection of her industrialist husband Doyle Thayer Jr. and emptied it into his back, as he lay naked and unconscious in their Iroquois Heights home. The news of Constance Thayer's X-rated past breathed new life into the scandal for another month. Walker's job was to gather enough dirt on the late Mr. Thayer to make his widow look clean by comparison.
