Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique exploration of the wide-reaching consequences of the Civil War on the economy, politics, and society of the United States. The author argues that the war brought about a period of economic instability known as "Hard Times." The author draws parallels between the economic situation of post-war America to that of the present day, observing that indulging in the excesses of speculation often leads to financial ruin. However, the author warns that blaming divine intervention for human folly is to misunderstand the cause of suffering. The author goes on to state that reliance on external assets often leads to personal ruin, both materially and spiritually. Instead, investment in honesty, both public and private, and the exercise of self-reliance, are presented as virtues that lead to success, however it may be defined.
