Explore the hidden origins of American liberty in "The American Counter-Revolution in Favor of Liberty". This compelling hardcover book by Ivan Jankovic argues that true freedom wasn't won by statesmen in the 1780s, but through the active resistance of Americans to the modern state's encroaching power. Discover a new perspective on the American Revolution, viewing it not as a single event, but as two simultaneous movements: a European revolution for government centralization and a conservative American counter-revolution for individual liberty and local rights. This book delves into the ideological, political, and cultural roots of this liberal counter-revolution and its key figures. Uncover the fascinating concept of "decoupled modernization," where social progress in America evolved independently of modern state-building trends. Jankovic presents a thought-provoking analysis of a stateless, spontaneous political order that shaped American identity.
