In this book, János Csák explores the enduring intellectual and
spiritual legacy behind America’s achievement, the very essence and
history of the American genius. Americans see freedom as the ultimate
human good, but it is precisely around the principle of freedom and its
misuse that much drama has unfolded in recent years. This drama
manifests in a creeping cognitive dissonance rationalizing (seemingly at
every turn) practices and injustices that contradict America’s original
ideals. Yet The Genius of America stands firm as a
confessional testimony to the belief that these ideals instill in most
citizens the hope and belief that as members of their community they can
still develop their talents, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and find
meaning in their lives and efforts.
