The Genius Of America

In this book, János Csák explores the enduring intellectual and spiritual legacy behind America's achievement, the very essence and history of the American genius. Americans see freedom as the ultimate human good, but it is precisely around the principle of freedom and its misuse that much drama has unfolded in recent years. This drama manifests in a creeping cognitive dissonance rationalizing (seemingly at every turn) practices and injustices that contradict America's original ideals. Yet The Genius of America stands firm as a confessional testimony to the belief that these ideals instill in most citizens the hope and belief that as members of their community they can still develop their talents, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and find meaning in their lives and efforts.
