Synopsis
Throughout time, from ancient Rome to modern Britain, the great empires built and maintained their dominion through force of arms and political power over alien peoples. In this illuminating work of history, John Steele Gordon tells the extraordinary story of how the United States, a global power without precedent, became the first country to dominate the world through the creation of wealth. The American economy is by far the world's largest, but it is also the most dynamic and innovative. The nation used its English political inheritance, as well as its diverse, ambitious population and seemingly bottomless imagination, to create an unrivaled economy capable of developing more wealth for more and more people as it grows. But America has also been extremely lucky. Far from a guaranteed success, our resilient economy continually suffered through adversity and catastrophes. It survived a profound recession after the Revolution, an unwise decision by Andrew Jackson that left the country without a central bank for nearly eighty years, and the disastrous Great Depression of the 1930s, which threatened to destroy the Republic itself. Having weathered those trials, the economy became vital enough to Americanize the world in recent decades. Virtually every major development in technology in the twentieth century originated in the United States, and as the products of those technologies traveled around the globe, the result was a subtle, peaceful, and pervasive spread of American culture and perspective., The United States is a formidable military power. But unlike empires from ancient Rome to modern England, America came to dominate the world in a less warlike, more subtle manner - through economic might. In An Empire of Wealth, John Steele Gordon captures the true source of our nation's global influence: wealth and the capacity to create more of it. As a new nation, the United States used its English political inheritance, its restless, innovative, ambitious population, and its vast resources to the fullest. It was also very lucky. As the economy grew, it survived several potentially ruinous episodes, including the Civil War and the Great Depression, which nearly sent the banking system into irrevocable collapse. In a stirring narrative that mirrors the remarkable trajectory of America's history, Gordon captures as never before the true source of our nation's global triumph.John Steele Gordon is the author of A Thread Across the Ocean, The Business of America, and The Great Game, and a columnist for American Heritage. He lives in North Salem, New York."Fascinating ... A colorful, entertaining history of the American economy ... Mr. Gordon, in telling his tale, keeps a sharp eye out for the unintended consequences of economic change. They provide some of his most arresting facts." -- The New York Times
