" Are you an Anarchist ? "
The questions seem impertinent. They are part of a long paper of interrogations I must answer satisfactorily if I am to be regarded as a desirable^ alien to enter the United States of America. < I want very much to pass that great statue of Liberty illuminating the world (from a central position in New York Harbour) in order to see things in its light, to talk to certain people, to appreciate certain atmospheres,! and so I resist the provocation to answer imp< rtiiuntlj.

The Future in America: A Search After Realities (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the form of a travelogue, with the author setting out for the United States on an open-minded journey to discover what its citizens are actually like and what it is that drives them. He explores the nation's identity through many lenses, including pondering the national psyche in the face of its sudden transition from humble beginnings to a global superpower and what this might mean for the world's future. The author questions the extent to which the American mindset is adaptable to the changing circumstances the new century will bring, particularly the rise of new economic forces. This book has a philosophical bent, with the author reflecting on the free will and agency of nations and peoples in the face of seemingly inevitable social, political, and economic forces. Informed by this unique perspective, the author delivers thoughtful insights on a people and a nation standing on the precipice of shaping their future and through them, the course for humankind.
