Focusing on the theme of self-improvement, the book advocates that progress stems from personal responsibility rather than legislative changes. Samuel Smiles emphasizes thrift and attributes poverty to irresponsible behaviors and materialism, positioning his work as a cornerstone of mid-Victorian liberalism. The volume includes discussions on influential figures in industry, perseverance, and the intersection of art and labor. This modern edition preserves the original text and artwork, making it a valuable addition to the collection of vintage literature.
