The European Surrender: A Descriptive Study of the American Social and Economic Conquest by John Ney (Hardcover)

Description

“The European Surrender: A Descriptive Study of the American Social and Economic Conquest” is a book written by John Ney, published in 1951. In this work, Ney examines the post-World War II era and the perceived dominance of American influence in Europe, particularly in the realms of social and economic affairs.

The book delves into the various ways in which American culture, politics, and economics were perceived to be reshaping European societies in the aftermath of the war. Ney analyzes factors such as the Marshall Plan, American investment in European industries, the spread of American consumer culture, and the influence of American media and entertainment.

Ney’s work raises questions about the implications of this perceived American dominance for European identity, autonomy, and sovereignty. He explores concerns about cultural homogenization, economic dependency, and the erosion of traditional European values in the face of American influence.

“The European Surrender” offers a critical perspective on the evolving relationship between Europe and the United States in the mid-20th century, shedding light on the complexities of transatlantic relations during this period of profound change. The book reflects broader debates about globalization, cultural imperialism, and the balance of power in the post-war world.
