Intellectuals at peace with their era found a justification for great wealth and even dubious business ethics in a series of books, essays, and lectures by the British philosopher Herbert Spencer. Because Spencer seemed to apply Charles Darwin's celebrated theory of biological evolution to human society, his philosophy is known as social Darwinism. According to Spencer, as in the world of animals
and plants, where species compete and those best adapted survive, the fittest people rise to the top in the social competition for riches. Eventually, in the dog-eat-dog world, they alone survive. "If they are sufficiently complete to live," Spencer wrote, "they do live, and it is well that they should live. If they are not sufficiently complete to live, they die and it is best that they should die." The tough-mindedness of social Darwinism made Spencer immensely popular among American businessmen who were as proud of their practicality as of their success. An Englishman, Spencer was never as celebrated in his own country as he was in the United States. Although a vain man, he was mortified by the adulation heaped on him at banquets sponsored by American academics and rich businessmen. Social Darwinism accounted for brutal business practices and underhanded methods with a shrug, justifying them as "natural," the law of the jungle. The language of social Darwinism crept into the vocabulary of businessmen and politicians who represented business interests. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. described the growth of a large business as "the survival of the fittest." But neither he nor many other American millionaires were true social Darwinists. The very ruthlessness of the theory—"Nature, red in tooth and claw"—made it unpalatable to men and women like the Rockefellers, who, in their personal lives, were deeply committed to traditional religious values. Moreover, businessmen are rarely intellectuals, and Spencer's philosophy and writing style were as murky as crude oil. Understanding him demanded careful study, for which businessmen rarely had time. Spencer's explanation of the new society was most influential among intellectuals who wanted to snuggle up to the rich. From the passage, it is possible to infer that a. Spencer's theory was easily understood by everyone. b. Spencer was a friend of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. c. Herbert Spencer was a very modest man. d. Spencer had little sympathy for the poor and disabled.

Cataluña De todas las cocinas (cuisines) de la Península, la catalana es sin duda la más sofisticada, completa y rica, amén de (besides) la más documentada históricamente; es, en pocas palabras, una cocina privilegiada por su situación de encrucijada (crossroads) geográfica que la ha conectado a través de (through) la historia con otros países, como Francia e Italia. Los pilares (pillars) de sus principales platos son cuatro salsas (sauces) básicas: el sofrito, la sanfaina, la picada y el alioli, de las que hay que destacar (emphasize) la segunda, la sanfaina, que es estrictamente catalana y acompaña los más diversos guisos (stews). Es un sofrito a medio cocer, mezcla de tomate, pimiento y berenjena (eggplant). El sofrito es, en cambio, un acompañamiento muy usado en la cocina española, que lleva ajo, cebolla, tomate y perejil. La picada lleva ajo (garlic), perejil (parsley), almendras (almonds) tostadas y piñones machacados (crushed pine nuts). En cuanto al alioli, es un aderezo (dressing) venerable, que probablemente se remonta al (goes back to) tiempo de los romanos, compuesto de aceite de oliva y ajo, unidos a fuerza de paciencia en el mortero hasta integrar una pasta cremosa que acompaña con ciertas carnes y también pescados. Por lo demás, los vinos son magníficos en toda la zona, destacando los del Priorato: tintos muy particulares, densos y suaves, que no se encuentran fácilmente fuera de esa tierra.¡A ESCRIBIR!
