Samuel Smiles

    23. prosinec 1812 – 16. duben 1904

    Samuel Smiles byl skotský autor a vládní reformátor, který dospěl k závěru, že k pokroku povede více změna postojů než nové zákony. Jeho dílo zdůrazňovalo šetrnost a zodpovědnost, zatímco kritizovalo materialismus a laissez-faire vládu. Dílo se stalo „biblí liberalismu poloviny viktoriánské éry“ a téměř přes noc vyneslo autorem na výsluní.
