Conclusion. 330 $aThis book presents the case that the origins of American liberty should not be sought in the constitutional-reformist feats of its ?statesmen? during the 1780s, but rather in the political and social resistance to their efforts. There were two revolutions occurring in the late 18th century America: the modern European revolution ?in favour of government,? pursuing national unity, ?energetic? government and centralization of power (what scholars usually dub ?American founding?); and a conservative, reactionary counter-revolution ?in favour of liberty,? defending local rights and liberal individualism against the encroaching political authority. This is a book about this liberal counter-revolution and its ideological, political and cultural sources and central protagonists. The central analytical argument of the book is that America before the Revolution was a stateless, spontaneous political order that evolved culturally, politically and economically in isolation from the modern European trends of state-building and centralization of power. The book argues, then, that a better model for understanding America is a ?decoupled modernization? hypothesis, in which social modernity is divested from the politics of modern state and tied with the pre-modern social institutions. 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a320.973 676 $a323.44097309033 700 $aJankovic$b Ivan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0984141 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337864303321 996 $aThe American Counter-Revolution in Favor of Liberty$92541365 997 $aUNINA
