In the 1800s French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville visited the United States to observe the workings of democracy and the country itself. He wrote his observations in a book titled Democracy In America. The following quote is an excerpt from the text.
As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question:
how much money will it bring in?
- Alexis de Tocqueville
