Features: How did the United States become a world superpower in the 20th century? Instead of starting from American politics and the historical process of the world, Olivier Roux begins with the internal mechanisms of the United States, deeply exploring the intrinsic driving forces of this highly developed country in science, technology, and business. The author believes that the American research system, which values practice, has driven the nation's progress. The social contract of the market has allowed the middle class to form, while the identity of different races has enriched the multicultural diversity of American society. Ultimately, the entire social mechanism that values the individual has made this superpower full of vitality.
