This is a book about this liberal counter-revolution and its ideological, political and cultural sources and central protagonists. The central analytical argument of the book is that America before the Revolution was a stateless, spontaneous political order that evolved culturally, politically and economically in isolation from the modern European trends of state-building and centralization of power. The book argues, then, that a better model for understanding America is a \"decoupled modernization\" hypothesis, in which social modernity is divested from the politics of modern state and tied with the pre-modern social institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57557675049342,"sku":"NW9783030037321","price":103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783030037321.jpg?v=1783295828","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/american-counter-revolution-in-favo","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
