Book Synopsis A Nation of Agents by : James E. Block
Book excerpt: Block offers a new perspective on the formation of the modern American self and society. He roots self and society in the concept of agency, rather than liberty, and dispenses with the national myth of the “sacred cause of liberty”—with the Declaration of Independence as its “American scripture.”
