'The American world'

Vicente Verdú

The U.S. virus spreads quickly to the 'dumb' eyes of Europe

Vicente Verdú teaches us 'The American world' the peculiarities of a culture that devours everything in its path. From the 'divine privilege' of America " occupations of foreign territories, from the Philippines to Haiti to Vietnam, were presented to American society as a cross of salvation democratic require human sacrifice" to the establishment of the going culture of fear, of course, for the love of money and contempt for the poor .

One of the best profiles drawn by Verdú on the American world is the conception of the poor as someone who has not done enough to win and therefore must be abandoned because it is not useful for production. So what does the author " the idea that the poor are poor because they are lazy or incompetent is installed among many Americans, Republican or not ."

To Verdú, this voracious system of production and the inequalities generated, causing high rates of crime, not in vain is eight times more likely to be docked in New York in Barcelona .

This essay prize Anagram, is written to pure style Vicente Verdú. Clear, simple, easy to read and away from Baroque. Very useful to parties who wish to know the peculiarities of American society. The reasons for its worship of money, their love of God, fear, repulsion to the intellectual or impractical, the taste for the obscene, the cibercapitalismo ... All well discriminated into 15 chapters of about 15 pages about each.

regular contributor to El Pais, I recommend to his extensive essays as well as 'The American world', 'The Style of the World', which will be discussed soon.
