Self-Made Men

Self-Made Men is a humorous and satirical essay by Stephen Leacock, in which he explores the idea of the "self-made man" — a person who rises from humble beginnings to success through their own efforts, often seen as an ideal figure in society. Leacock uses his characteristic wit to both poke fun at and critique the concept, highlighting the absurdities and contradictions that come with the myth of self-made success.
