 | | In Why the American Century?, being published by the University of Chicago Press, Zunz, a social historian, argues that much of America's international clout came from the creation of a science-based economy and a large, middle-class, consumer-oriented "center," however flawed by discrimination it was. |
 | | The first was the creation of an industrial economy, which involved inventing technologies for exploiting America's natural resources, building a large industrial plant, relocating millions of workers to industrial locales, investing in research and devising organizational strategies to improve the ways Americans produced national and individual wealth. |
 | | It was this reorganization of knowledge, not merely the power of capital accumulation, that gave Americans the means both to generate prosperity at home and expand their presence into the world, Zunz says. |
