What is God and gold : Britain, America, and the making of the modern world about?
For four hundred years, Britain, America and their allies have dominated the world both militarily and economically. They have won the wars - the hot wars, the cold wars and the trade wars - time and again; and yet the battle for hearts and minds has proved far harder to win. In God and Gold, Walter Russell Mead examines why this has been the case and what the overwhelming ascendancy and concentration of power in the hands of 'les Anglo-Saxons' has meant for the direction of world history. In so doing, he sheds scintillating new light on the current political, economic and cultural climat.;Cover; Title Page; Copyright page; Dedication page; Contents; Preface to the UK edition; Introduction; Strong and Wrong; The Walrus and the Carpenter; The Dread and Envy of Them All; Anglo-Saxon Attitudes; What Hath God Wrought?; The Lessons of History; Conclusion; Part One: The Walrus and the Carpenter; One: With God on Our Side; Two: On the Beach; The Trueborn Englishman; Horsa and Hengist; Three: How They Hate Us; The World of the Waspophobe; The Long War; Part Two: The Dread and Envy of Them All; Four: The Protocols of the Elders of Greenwich; "I Have Always Honored the King of Spain."
