Book Description

The chapters of this book include: 'How the Americans Combat Individualism by the Principle of Self-Interest Rightly Understood', 'That The Americans Apply The Principle of Self-Interest Rightly Understood to Religious Matters', 'Of the Taste for Physical Well-Being in America', etcetera.
