The influence of free and universal education, together with that
of political institutions which at every point inculcate
self-respect and stimulate ambition, must be accorded much weight
in keeping the Republic the freest of all civilized nations from
pauperism and crime.-from "Pauperism and Crime"Subtitled "Fifty
Years' March of the Republic," this is steel tycoon Andrew
Carnegie's love letter to America, first published in 1886, an
impassioned celebration of the American success story, and a call
for other nations to follow in America's footsteps. Through simple,
direct discussions of the nature of the American character and her
jobs and education, religion, industry, art and literature, foreign
affairs, and more, Carnegie sets out a case for a brand of
conservative democracy for the world to emulate. Ironies aside-the
United States of today is no longer the nation Carnegie was
extolling-this is a stirring portrait of an America of the past...
and one that could be again.Also available from Cosimo Classics:
Carnegie's An American Four-in-Hand in Britain, Round the World,
and Autobiography.Entrepreneur and philanthropist ANDREW CARNEGIE
(1835-1919) was born in Scotland and emigrated to America as a
teenager. His Carnegie Steel Company launched the steel industry in
Pittsburgh, and after its sale to J.P. Morgan, he devoted his life
to philanthropic causes. His charitable organizations built more
than 2,500 public libraries around the world, and gave away more
than $350 million during his lifetime.
