Country of Lords

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Pulitzer-finalist historian Kim Phillips-Fein explores a 250-year-old tradition that challenges the foundational belief in American equality. She delves into the perspectives of influential figures like John Adams, Andrew Carnegie, and Peter Thiel, who have argued against the notion that "all men are created equal," revealing a complex history of social hierarchies and political thought. By examining neglected archives and characters, Phillips-Fein seeks to illuminate the forces shaping contemporary political life and inspires listeners to envision a more egalitarian future.
