NashChicago :Hoover Institution Press,2016.1 online resource (101 pages)Hoover Institution Press publication ;number 6750-8179-2015-3 American individualism -- Philosophic grounds -- Spiritual phases -- Economic phases -- Political phases -- The future.In late 1921, then secretary of commerce Herbert Hoover decided to distill from his experiences a coherent understanding of the American experiment he cherished. The result was the 1922 book American Individualism. In it, Hoover expounded and vigorously defended what has come to be called American exceptionalism: the set of beliefs and values that still makes America unique. He argued that America can make steady, sure progress if we preserve our individualism, preserve and stimulate the initiative of our people, insist on and maintain the safeguards to equality of opportunity, and honor service as a part of our national character. American Individualism asserts that equal opportunity for individuals to develop their abilities is "the sole source of progress" and the fundamental impulse behind American civilization for three, now four, centuries. More than ninety years have passed since this book was first published; it is clear, in retrospect, that the volume was partly motivated by the political controversies of the time. But American Individualism is not simply a product of a dim and receding past. To a considerable degree the ideological battles of Hoover's era are the battles of our own, and the interpretations we make of our past, particularly the years between 1921 and 1933, will mold our perspective on the crises of the present.Hoover Institution Press publication ;675.IndividualismLiberalismUnited StatesHistoryLibertyCollectivismConstitutional historyUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial conditions1918-1932United StatesEconomic policy1933-1945Individualism.LiberalismHistory.Liberty.Collectivism.Constitutional history302.54Hoover Herbert119539Nash George H.1945-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798867903321American Individualism1811429UNINA01298nam0 22003011i 450 UON0006400520231205102321.61420020107d1978 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| 1||||Alte OrientteppicheMeisterstucke aus deutschen PrivatsammlungenOld Eastern Carpets, Masterpieces in German Private CollectionsFriedrich Spuhler, Hans Konig, Martin VolkmannMunchenGeorg D.W.
