  • “America's problem is how to free itself from the grip of it's exhausted ideas.”
  • “For four hundred years European civilization has dominated the world - for better or for worse. It is convenient, and flattering, for Americans to assume that this is all over; but it very rash to do so.”
  • “Europeans believe in democracy - or, at least, in republican government - but they have considered the alternatives, and continue to do so, and that scandalizes Americans.”
  • “We Americans really seem to be the only truly non-socialist economy on earth.”
  • “The problems of elites is an old one for which Americans have found no solid answer.”
