Mead explains how this helped create a culture uniquely adapted to capitalism, a system under which both countries thrived. We see how, as a result, the two nations were able to create the liberal, ...

"Lengthy and informative prose. Loaded with heavy content. Thoroughly researched. This is a comprehensive study of the beginning, the development, the back-sliding, the maturity and utter domination of the liberal(economic) capitalist system. It will explain how the English speaking peoples of the world have developed the greatest most successful economic system the world has ever seen; and how this system has brought about the wealth of its participants and the envy and hatred of those left behind in its economic dust. Mead carefully explains how those trying to join the capitalist juggernaut quickly get trampled underfoot by an economic system improved by the advancements and mistakes of over 400 years of clinical practice. Mead deftly skirts any pretensions of political persuasions or leanings and lets the reader come to their own conclusions about the success and future success of the American led capitalist economic system. An indispensable read for those trying to make sense of the post-911 social order."
