America-bashing predates America: French Enlightenment philosophies claimed that the colony was doomed and one critic reported that the colonys population was "astonishingly idiotic [and] enervated". As the United States became a superpower after the Second World War, a more virulent, politically charged form of declinism emerged amid hysteria that "the Russians are coming". It was followed by the European miracle, Japans "Rising Sun" and now the looming Chinese behemoth. While declinism may delight the media and gloating Europeans eager to play up Americas "has-been" status, the facts do not corroborate the contentions, as Josef Joffe demonstrates in this history of American declinism. He offers a highly provocative examination of how the US, for all its failings, continues to be a force of rejuvenation today.
