What is not as well known is that he was actively involved in Anglo-American politics and tried to promote a closer relationship between his native Britain and the United States. To that end, Carnegie published Triumphant Democracy in 1886, in which he proposed the American federal republic as a model for solving Britain's unsettling problems. On the basis of his own experience, Carnegie argued that America was a much-improved Britain and that the British monarchy could best overcome its social and political turbulence by following the democratic American model. He expressed a growing belief that the antagonism between the two nations should be supplanted by rapprochement. A. S. Eisenstadt offers an in-depth analysis of Triumphant Democracy, illustrating its importance and illuminating the larger current of British-American politics between the American Revolution and World War I and the fascinating exchange about the virtues and defects of the two nations. 606 $aNational characteristics, American 606 $aNational characteristics, British 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y1865-1918 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1865-1900 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs$y1865-1918 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 615 0$aNational characteristics, British. 676 $a973.5 700 $aEisenstadt$b Abraham Seldin$f1920-$01645897 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813213703321 996 $aCarnegie's model republic$93992650 997 $aUNINA
