Samuel Smiles

    23. december 1812 – 16. apríl 1904

    Samuel Smiles bol škótsky autor a vládny reformátor, ktorý dospel k záveru, že k pokroku povedie viac zmena postojov než nové zákony. Jeho dielo zdôrazňovalo šetrnosť a zodpovednosť, pričom kritizovalo materializmus a laissez-faire vládu. Dielo sa stalo „bibliou liberalismu polovice viktoriánskej éry“ a takmer cez noc vynieslo autora na výslnie.
