| Why it’s on the list | Bruno Maçães’s argument that America is not in decline but in the middle of becoming something else — no longer the leader of a Western order it half-invented, and developing a civilisation of its own whose relation to reality is mediated rather than direct. The counter-reading to every American-decline book. |
Where I heard about it
- The cover — I saved a picture of the cover to my reading list: the edition with the added chapter on America and the coronavirus.
- Brendan McCord — on his Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List, under The American Experiment, shared March 2026.
Connections
- American Decline — the thesis this book is written against.
- Historical Futurism · People Over Politics — the portfolio ideas this sits across.
- In the Shadows of the American Century — also saved in this note, and the straight decline argument to read against it.
