This book has an ace American structure, and attempts to present America as a transpattern and even an Archetype which every other country and states must follow from its country state design. Numerous nations are deliberately or unwittingly follow it, and its taste and fragrance can be detected in rest of the world. That is the reason it’s called Transnational America.
