Irresistible Empire

This is the book that I am currently reading for my latest class,
"American Culture in the World."

I'm not done with it yet, but I can tell you the main thesis: America
extended its hegemonic power through business, thereby creating a
"Market Empire" and reshaped Europe on its own terms.

It is interesting to read about a time when things were not almost
completely determined by one's buying power, and the processes that
brought about the current reality.
