What if America hasnÕt yet peaked? What if a new America has only just begun? Popular consensus says that the US rose over two centuries to Cold War victory and world domination, and is now in slow decline. But is this right? HistoryÕs great civilisations have always lasted much longer, and for all its colossal power, the US was overshadowed by Europe until recently. What if this isnÕt the end? Bruno Ma‹es offers a compelling vision of AmericaÕs future, both fascinating and unnerving. From the early American Republic, Ma‹es takes us to the turbulent present, when, he argues, America is finally forging its own path. We can see the birth pangs of this new civilisation in todayÕs debates on guns, religion, foreign policy and the significance of Trump. What will its values be, and what will this new America look like?
