In this sweeping reinterpretation of American political culture, Block offers a new perspective on the formation of the modern American self and society. "A Nation of Agents" is a new reading of what the "first new nation" did and did not achieve. It can enable readers to move beyond long-standing national myths and grasp both the American achievement and its legacy for modernity.
