| dc.description.abstract |
“America” is to New World liberalism as the doctrine
of the divine right of kings is to medieval monarchy.
Open competition, group pluralism, voluntarism, private
enterprise, personal rights, community by contract and
consent, equality under the law, mobility, free opportunity,
individualism— all the tenets of modern liberal society
find their apotheosis in the symbol of America. The process
by which the United States usurped America for itself,
symbolically, is also the process by which liberalism
established its political and economic dominance. |
