Focusing on the themes of self-improvement and personal responsibility, this influential work argues that poverty stems from irresponsible habits rather than systemic failures. Samuel Smiles emphasizes thrift and the importance of adapting attitudes over enacting new laws. Celebrated as a key text of mid-Victorian liberalism, it features discussions on notable figures in industry and art, as well as the significance of perseverance and opportunity.
