Profits and Principles
T the roots of American history is a dualism, and it has run right through the life of the United States up to our own time. We're all familiar with the modern United States as the home of giant industrial undertakings. We know
of America’s natural resources, of her huge corporations, of her skilled workers. American efficiency and enterprise are often thought of as business efficiency and business enterprise. And some people who look only at this side of American life call its civilisation a materialistic one, But there’s another side, just as important and just as characteristically American. The United States abounds in a tremendous store of idealism. It has a strong attachment to principles. It will turn enthusiastic for a cause, and its citizens can be roused even to a crusading spirit. These two tendencies are intertwined in American democracy.-(" The Birth of ‘a Nation." Professor Leslie Lipson, 2YA, April 13.)
