Jane Addams: “A Modern Lear”

( 1896 ) Commentary by Luca Prono Ph.D.

“The president of the [Pullman] company desired that his employees should possess the individual and family virtues, but did nothing to cherish in them those social virtues which his own age demanded. He rather substituted for that sense of responsibility to the community, a feeling of gratitude to himself, who had provided them with public buildings, and had laid out for them a simulacrum of public life.” - “A Modern Lear”
