The truth is somewhere in between. The "Great Man" theory of history has been in declension for decades and it is mostly conservatives who are propping it up and keeping it alive. (Pick up any major bio of Churchill to see an example.) I think it deserves to thrive alongside other theories of history. But thumbs up for the Stone Soup trope -- it is right up there with The Emperor's New Clothes and The Dog in the Manger in terms of its general applicability to life. |
