Focusing on why neoliberalism gained such a uniquely strong hold in the United States, philosopher Bruce N. Waller in this book traces the source back to the country's origins and the entwined core values of the nation's Founding Fathers.

His recent books include Against Moral Responsibility (2011), The Stubborn System of Moral Responsibility (2015), The Injustice of Punishment (2018), and Free Will, Moral Responsibility, and the Desire to be a God (2020).
