Items related to What Civilization Owes to Italy (Classic Reprint)
BEFORE the Groat War came to give us a series of disillusions with regard to our modem civilization, nearly all the world was agreed in thinking that material prosperity was the certain index of a nation's greatness. Governments were committed to the policy that a nation's place in civilization was measured by its bank clearances. The happiness of a people depended on the multiplication of its comforts and conveniences. The ideal of life was not to make people happy, but to make them comfortable. Apparently many people seemed to think that the two terms were convertible, though nothing could possibly be less true than that. There was a definite persuasion that if we created great leisure classes in the various countries they would surely devote themselves to the higher things of life and if not by actual creation, at least through discriminating appreciation, foster art and literature and the cult of the things of the mind which make for the real uplift of humanity.
