On The American Contribution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419138614)

On The American Contribution is a book written by the famous British statesman and politician, Winston Churchill. The book is a collection of speeches and essays delivered by Churchill during his career, in which he discusses the important role played by the United States in shaping the modern world. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the American Revolution, the Civil War, the two World Wars, and the Cold War. Churchill explores the unique characteristics of American society and culture that have made it a powerful force in the world, such as its entrepreneurial spirit, its commitment to individual freedom and democracy, and its innovative approach to technology and science.Throughout the book, Churchill expresses his admiration for the United States and its people, while also acknowledging the challenges and complexities of the relationship between the two countries. He discusses the importance of the ""special relationship"" between the United States and Great Britain, and the need for cooperation and partnership in the face of global challenges.On The American Contribution is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century, and a celebration of the enduring friendship between the United States and Great Britain. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and politics of the modern world.In America we succeeded in eliminating hereditary power, in obtaining a large measure of political liberty, only to see the rise of an economic power, and the consequent loss of economic liberty. The industrial development of the United States was of course a necessary and desirable thing, but the economic doctrine which formed the basis of American institutions proved to be unsuited to industrialism, and introduced unforeseen evils that were a serious menace to the Republic. An individualistic economic philosophy worked admirably while there was ample land for the pioneer, equality of opportunity to satisfy the individual initiative of the enterprising.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
