If you’d like to know how the world really works, check out American Exception by Aaron Good
- sremani 4y agoWill check it out. The title reminds me of Ian Bremmer's quote "what makes America great? Two oceans, Canada and Mexico!".
- t6jvcereio 4y agoI haven't read the book, but as a European I'd rather the Americans being the exception rather than the Russians or the Chinese.
- MarkMarine 4y agoUnderstandable, but if you read the book I think it’s comforting to that avenue of thought. Basically, you can be assured that American Foreign policy will be the same no matter what democratically elected government is in place, and the book explains why in 260 pages. I’m not the author and I don’t have a PhD or even think I’m smart enough to sum that up, with end notes, in a paragraph. But I thought it was smart and adds new light to what the original commenter said about learning how the world actually works.
