Spreading the American Dream: American Economic & Cultural Expansion 1890-1945 Book

With an astonishing lack of citations or footnotes, Rosenberg traces the cultural (more interesting) and economic (slightly less interesting) ingredients of the foreign relations efforts that spread the "American dream" across the globe during the years 1890 to 1945. She roots her study in the idea of "liberal developmentalism," which combined mostly private and some public initiatives to spread "America" far and wide, instructing other nations on the lessons and laws of democracy and "free" business practices during successive periods characterized by the promotional, cooperative, and regulatory US state.
