#selfmade #selfhelp #history
As it turns out, being “self-made” is a uniquely American phrase.
It was on the Senate floor on February 2, 1842, that Henry Clay first coined the phrase “self-made man.” After that, folks began describing a “self-made man” as any person who achieved success independently, without any outside help.
But economic mobility, or the ability of people to move up or down the economic ladder in terms of their wealth, has been steadily declining in the United States for decades.
