Description
In this provocative work of cultural and political analysis, the author argues that the American citizen—and the independent, secure middle class that sustains citizenship—is under threat. He examines how progressive elites, globalization, tribal identities, mass immigration, expanding bureaucracy, and dependence on the state may erode the shared rights, obligations, and national loyalties that once defined civic life. Drawing on the history of citizenship from ancient Greece to the modern United States, the book explores the tension between individual liberty and collective identity, offering a stark warning about the future of American self-government.
