Sort of a cringe graphic. America has produced a lot of top tier novelists and philosophers, every nation also produces garbage

This, and I'm hard pressed to think of a single 'major' work that covers "Americanism" as a whole. Our culture is undeclared and piecemeal.

I should add that I mean no major work *by an American*. Pic related is the only known attempt at it, and it was by a Frenchman.

On the rare cases where we do cite a philosophical basis for our politics, it comes from a European source like John Locke.
