How
the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's
Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything in It
by Arthur Herman
"I am a Scotsman," Sir Walter Scott famously wrote, "therefore I had
to fight my way into the world." So did any number of his compatriots over
a period of just a few centuries, leaving their native country and traveling
to every continent, carving out livelihoods and bringing ideas of freedom,
self-reliance, moral discipline, and technological mastery with them, among
other key assumptions of what historian Arthur Herman calls the "Scottish
mentality."
It is only natural, Herman suggests, that a country that once ranked
among Europe's poorest, if most literate, would prize the ideal of progress,
measured "by how far we have come from where we once were." Forged in the
Scottish Enlightenment, that ideal would inform the political theories
of Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith, and David Hume, and other Scottish thinkers
who viewed "man as a product of history," and whose collective enterprise
involved "nothing less than a massive reordering of human knowledge" (yielding,
among other things, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, first published in Edinburgh
in 1768, and the Declaration of Independence, published in Philadelphia
just a few years later). On a more immediately practical front, but no
less bound to that notion of progress, Scotland also fielded inventors,
warriors, administrators, and diplomats such as Alexander Graham Bell,
Andrew Carnegie, Simon MacTavish, and Charles James Napier, who created
empires and great fortunes, extending Scotland's reach into every corner
of the world.
Herman examines the lives and work of these and many more eminent Scots,
capably defending his thesis and arguing, with both skill and good cheer,
that the Scots "have by and large made the world a better place rather
than a worse place." --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com
