In this book, J¡nos Cs¡k explores the enduring intellectual and spiritual legacy behind America's achievement, the very essence and history of the American genius. Americans see freedom as the ultimate human good, but it is precisely around the principle of freedom and its misuse that much drama has unfolded in recent years. This drama manifests in a creeping cognitive dissonance rationalizing (seemingly at every turn) practices and injustices that contradict America's original ideals. Yet The Genius of America stands firm as a confessional testimony to the belief that these ideals instill in most citizens the hope and belief that as members of their community they can still develop their talents, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and find meaning in their lives and efforts.


Industry Reviews

"J¡nos Cs¡k has a powerful sense of both present and past. Possessing the practical judgment of the statesman and the historical knowledge of the academic, he presents here the fruits of both to insightful effect. --LARRY ARNN

"J¡nos Cs¡k has written a book, The Genius of America, which both describes and addresses the challenges of our generation. It must be added to the list of insightful books written by distant lovers of the American expeiment." --SENATOR RICK SANTORUM

"The Genius of America expresses a common faith and hope in the ability of America to renew itself, something critical not only for America but for the world." --GEORGE YEO

 "J¡nos Cs¡k offers a stimulating Hungarian perspective on America's ideology and evolving values, a sobering reminder about a way of life that made America unique and successful, and the consequences of the widespread abandonment of it." --JAMES HECKMAN

"J¡nos Cs¡k is a man of culture, history, and statesmanship. As America and Hungary face similar challenges moving into the 21st century, this book is urgent and important." --CHRISTOPHER RUFO

 "Like a good friend who loves you enough to tell you the truth, J¡nos Cs¡k pens a love letter to America that glows with admiration and even passion, but that is neither naive nor sentimental about the nation's flaws." --ROD DREHER
