Walter Russell Mead wrote about the book, Kohut and Stokes create enduring problems as long as the most individualistic people are against most American people.[1] Most American tend to be more effective than most people about their ability to shape their own lives and like to using government action to solve social problems on the planet and it makes the USA face ugly in world, Walter believed.[3] Also Walter said, Kohut and Stokes make an understandable data center for their book, and the results of their global surveys make their book interesting.[3]
