Rugged individualism

Rugged individualism, derived from "individualism", is a term that indicates the virtuous ideal where an individual is totally self-reliant and independent from outside assistance. Often associated with the notion of laissez-faire and its supporters, the term was coined by American President Herbert Hoover, a conservative Republican who presided over the beginning of the Great Depression.[1][2]
