Why Were Victorian Elites So Effective?
A new essay argues that highly effective Victorian elites shared a set of vices rather than pure virtues, examining the personal traits that powered Britain's nineteenth-century ruling class. Readers are debating whether ambition, ruthlessness and other flaws were actually the engine behind the era's extraordinary achievements, and what that means for modern ideas about success and leadership.
Why now: The essay's contrarian claim that 'vices' drove Victorian effectiveness is sparking debate about what really produces elite achievement.
