  What is the proper mode of administering great wealth? It is to address this question that steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie's famous essay "Wealth", or more commonly known as "The Gospel of Wealth" was written (in 1889). His answer – Philanthropy. Not just any philanthropy, but specifically, projects funded and overseen during the life of the magnate, for things that benefit the community and engage the public in maintaining long after the magnate is gone -- libraries, parks, universities, hospitals, medical labs, observatories, entertainment halls, swimming pools, etc. Carnegie deemed it the responsibility of every self-respecting self-made rich person in America and the world, to help the poorer classes to rise. Before he died he had built over 3,000 public libraries throughout the world, and to this day various Carnegie foundations continue his work in support of various social causes.

  Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
  The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
  One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.
