The task of the book is to examine a shift of power from the Eastern Establishment toward the Southern Rim, to go beyond the labels, to explore and examine the whole variegated history of the last three decades of American life. First, to survey the economic power upon which the rise of the Southern Rim is based, leading naturally to an examination of how its rapid and rampant growth has created the distinct and in some ways ominous economic character of the region; to investigate the political power of the Southern Rim, especially as it has been manifest on a national scale and to determine how its progress has shaped the particular political character of the region.

The book helps to comprehend modern America and illuminate the foreseeable future.
