Samuel Smiles

    23 dicembre 1812 – 16 aprile 1904

    Samuel Smiles fu un autore e riformatore governativo scozzese che concluse che il progresso sarebbe derivato più da atteggiamenti cambiati che da nuove leggi. La sua opera sosteneva il risparmio e la responsabilità personale, criticando al contempo il materialismo e il governo del laissez-faire. Questa influente opera divenne nota come la "bibbia del liberalismo della metà dell'epoca vittoriana", proiettando Smiles alla celebrità.
