The Rise of the Imperial Self: America's Culture Wars in Augustinian Perspective
Ronald W. Dworkin
This work establishes a genealogy of aristocracy, and places America within an aristocratic tradition originally articulated by St Augustine, but adapted to American society by Alexis de Tocqueville. Dworkin also traces the evolution of American culture from Tocqueville's America.
