Growing Apart?:

America and Europe in the 21st Century (Google eBook)
Front Cover
Jeffrey Kopstein, Sven Steinmo
0 Reviews
Cambridge University Press, 2008 - Political Science - 237 pages
This book explores the forces pushing America away from its democratic friends and neighbors. It examines the underlying forces shaping the democratic states of the West. Individual chapters pose questions such as: Why is religion so powerful in America? How will the flow of immigration shape politics across the West? Why is Europe rejecting America's version of capitalism? How is the media changing in Europe and America? Why are "Conservatives" so different on each side of the Atlantic? And, finally, what do these competing forces portend for the future of the transatlantic relationship?

Page 36 - ... themselves upon their benefices, had neglected to keep up the fervour of faith and devotion in the great body of the people ; and having given themselves up to indolence, were become altogether incapable of making any vigorous exertion in defence even of their own establishment.
