Synopsis
Excerpt from Political History of Europe: From 1815 to 1848
Progress and Poverty, Dives and Lazarus have not yet made History. Neither the struggle, nor the outcome of the struggle, between Russia and Japan will be due to the fact that one lives on millet cakes and the other on rice. Lamprecht and the Leipziger school take a very narrow view of history when they attempt to view it from the corner of a cabbage patch. Sauer kraut is great in its effects, but not as a maker of history. It seems to be very enticing to some Americans to try to explain all things by some simple standard of measure ment like the annual output of potatoes.
