This work explores, through a series of scenes and vignettes the question of What really is the American System? Not simply in terms of economic theory or a recipe for policy making, but rather, What are the motivating moral principles which have produced the most productive society in human history? In this book, the accomplishments of great and creative individuals are explored-people such as Henry Kaiser, the Wright Brothers, George Westinghouse, Nikola Tesla and Henry Ford. Their stories are told. Great projects, such as the Erie Canal, the Transcontinental Railroad and the Panama Canal are examined. And the life's work of certain towering proponents of the American System, like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley, are discussed. All of these people exhibited extraordinary hard work, courage and inventive genius, and all were devoted to creating a better, happier future. What is presented is both the heritage of the American Republic, but also a truthful representation of American Culture.
