Democracy And Social Growth In America: Four Lectures (1898) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780548833773)

""Democracy And Social Growth In America: Four Lectures"" is a book written by Bernard Moses in 1898. The book is a collection of four lectures that explore the relationship between democracy and social growth in America. The lectures delve into various aspects of American society, including its political structure, economic system, and social customs. In the first lecture, Moses examines the origins of American democracy and the principles that underpin it. He argues that democracy in America is unique because it is based on the idea of individualism and the belief in the inherent worth of every person. The second lecture focuses on the economic system of America and how it has contributed to the country's social growth. Moses argues that America's capitalist system has been instrumental in creating wealth and opportunity for its citizens, but also acknowledges that it has its drawbacks in terms of income inequality and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few.In the third lecture, Moses looks at the social customs and values of America, including its religious and cultural diversity. He argues that these factors have contributed to the country's social growth by fostering a sense of tolerance and respect for different viewpoints and ways of life.Finally, in the fourth lecture, Moses examines the role of education in American society and how it has contributed to the country's social growth. He argues that education has been instrumental in creating a more informed and engaged citizenry, and has helped to foster the values of democracy and social progress.Overall, ""Democracy And Social Growth In America: Four Lectures"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between democracy and social growth in America, and provides valuable insights into the factors that have shaped the country's unique political and social landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
