Beskrivelse
The author examines Americas reluctant rise to power and the United Kingdoms subsequent decline. Exhibiting a Darwinian perspective on the hierarchy of nations, Adams analyzes how power, wealth, and war are related. He argues that trade is an even more powerful force than war, demonstrating his point through the example of sugar production. Adams strongly believed that Americas rise to world supremacy was both a blessing and a curse.
