""Herbert Hoover and American Individualism: A Modern Interpretation of a National Ideal"" is a book written by Walter Friar Dexter that delves into the life and legacy of former U.S. President Herbert Hoover. The book explores the concept of American individualism, which is the idea that personal initiative and self-reliance are essential to achieving success and happiness in life. Dexter argues that Hoover embodied this ideal and that his policies as President reflected his commitment to it.Through a detailed examination of Hoover's life and career, Dexter shows how the former President's upbringing and experiences shaped his belief in individualism. The book also explores how Hoover's policies, particularly during the Great Depression, were influenced by his commitment to individualism. Dexter argues that Hoover's approach to the Depression was rooted in his belief that individuals and businesses should be left to solve their own problems, rather than relying on government intervention.Overall, ""Herbert Hoover and American Individualism"" provides a unique perspective on both Hoover and the concept of American individualism. The book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive analysis of Hoover's life and career, making it an essential read for anyone interested in American history or political philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
