French intellectual Jean-François Revel argues with sharp, incisive wit that America's unique combination of cultural pluralism, free press, political dissent, and individual liberty makes it the only society capable of producing a genuine revolution in the modern era. Written in the early 1970s against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, civil rights upheaval, and the counterculture movement, the work challenges the European left's reflexive anti-Americanism and dismantles the assumption that meaningful change must be rooted in Marxist ideology or religious doctrine. Revel's tone is bracingly confident and intellectually combative, drawing on sociology, history, and political theory to illustrate why the conditions for lasting human progress are uniquely present in American society. A controversial and enduring classic, it remains a vital text for anyone seeking to understand the ideological debates that shaped the latter half of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887906861275,"sku":"2026200007604-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/23363658-ff17-4bd4-9268-8670e8f86cb2.png?v=1781748699","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007604-secondhand-without-marx-or-jesus-the-new-american-revolution-has-begun","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
