Reviews
"An essential contribution to our understanding of the competing philosophical beliefs during an era of American culture that historians have seriously slighted in the pursuit of studying the Civil War." Hazel Dicken-Garcia, coauthor ofHated Ideas and the American Civil War Press, "This original and enjoyable work will stimulate debate on an important issue and era: the conflict Americans faced in the 1850s between righteous behavior and the drive for financial success."--Ronald T. Farrar, author of A Creed for My Profession: Walter Williams, Journalist to the World, " Paradoxes of Prosperity fills a gap in what we know about American culture, philosophical thought, and media during the decade just before the American Civil War. This book makes an essential contribution to our understanding of the competing philosophical beliefs during an era of American culture that historians have seriously slighted in the pursuit of studying the Civil War."--Hazel Dicken-Garcia, coauthor of Hated Ideas and the American Civil War Press, ''An essential contribution to our understanding of the competing philosophical beliefs during an era of American culture that historians have seriously slighted in the pursuit of studying the Civil War.'' Hazel Dicken-Garcia, coauthor of Hated Ideas and the American Civil War Press, "Serious students of antebellum America will certainly appreciate this fine book."-- Journal of Southern History
