{"product_id":"9780791479384","title":"Carnegie's Model Republic: Triumphant Democracy and the British-American Relationship","description":"Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) has long been known as a leading American industrialist, a man of great wealth and great philanthropy. What is not as well known is that he was actively involved in Anglo-American politics and tried to promote a closer relationship between his native Britain and the United States. To that end, Carnegie published Triumphant Democracy in 1886, in which he proposed the American federal republic as a model for solving Britain's unsettling problems. On the basis of his own experience, Carnegie argued that America was a much-improved Britain and that the British monarchy could best overcome its social and political turbulence by following the democratic American model. He expressed a growing belief that the antagonism between the two nations should be supplanted by rapprochement. A. S. Eisenstadt offers an in-depth analysis of Triumphant Democracy, illustrating its importance and illuminating the larger current of British-American politics between the American Revolution and World War I and the fascinating exchange about the virtues and defects of the two nations.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300734615792,"sku":"9780791479384","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791479384_p0.jpg?v=1763725016","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791479384","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
