Political rights and equality do not guarantee economic equality. Women earn less than men, on average, in America, and the problem of the economic and social status of African American remains high on the agenda.

Some economists believe that American economic dominance has ended. The United States, which for many years was the world’s greatest creditor nation, has become the world’s greatest debtor nation, in part because Americans continue to buy billions of dollars more of foreign goods than foreigners buy of American goods, and in part because of the long-standing enormous deficits in the federal government’s budget.

The Americans who do not always trust their government remain deeply proud of their nation and willing to sacrifice for it. Comparing Americans with Western Europeans on these dimensions is instructive. Studies have shown that more Americans say they are very proud of their country (80 percent) and are willing to fight for it (71 percent) than the citizens of Great Britain, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany in relation to their countries.

Given the crucial role of candidate selection in democratic elections, it is important to recognize that the United States is the only nation in the world that makes most of its nominations by direct primaries. In nearly all the parliamentary democracies, the parties’ candidates for parliament are chosen by the parties’ leaders or by small groups of card-carrying, dues-paying party members. A few countries, such as Germany and Finland, require the parties to choose their candidates by secret votes of local party members in procedures that resemble, but strictly speaking are not, direct primaries. Consequently, in every nation except the United States, the candidates are selected by only a few hundred, or at most a few thousand, party insiders.
