Description

Economist's 2007 Books of the Year Financial Time's 2007 Books of the Year For four hundred years, Britain, America and their allies have dominated the world both militarily and economically.

They have won the wars - the hot wars, the cold wars and the trade wars - time and again; and yet the battle for hearts and minds has proved far harder to win.

In God and Gold, Walter Russell Mead examines why this has been the case and what the overwhelming ascendancy and concentration of power in the hands of 'les Anglo-Saxons' has meant for the direction of world history.

In so doing, he sheds scintillating new light on the current political, economic and cultural climate, and suggests where we might be heading from here.
