This profound study examines the rise and fall of civilizations, tracing the causes that shape their destinies. The author argues that national greatness stems from democratic institutions, a free religious life, and a commitment to social justice. By analyzing historical events, the book uncovers the perils of wealth, social inequality, and the decline of superior traits within a society. It emphasizes the need for nations to cultivate virtues such as justice, equality, and fraternity to ensure their vitality and lasting success. The author's insights provide a valuable framework for understanding the forces that shape the course of civilizations, offering a thought-provoking examination of the conditions necessary for national growth and prosperity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In every age, as Carlyle suggests, there is some one people that enshrines the largest mass of living interests for humanity as a whole. Men of every race might readily accept this estimate provided they were allowed to name this people. In our time several peoples, each possessing striking characteristics, are playing a fateful part in the drama of universal history. Not for a moment do we mean to ignore the worth or significance of any of these. Most fully do we believe that there is a God of history who calls nations to great historic tasks. The fact that one nation has historic significance and a divine calling, does not imply that it alone has value in universal history and that other peoples carry no values for the world. In truth it implies the direct opposite. Not in any provincial spirit, therefore, but with a profound reverence for the qualities and values of the various races, do we claim that in many respects one of the most outstanding peoples in our age is that branch of the A nglo-S axon race bearing the name A merican. For this age America enshrines the largest mass of living interests entrusted to any one nation.
