This chapter delves into various facets of historical and social dynamics, exploring the beliefs of the Nazis and the consequences of post-World War I Germany's economic depression, which left 29% of the population unemployed. It examines the fears of the upper-class American South post-Civil War, the warnings by James Madison about property rights, the timeline of universal male suffrage awarded in the West, and the projection that whites will become a minority by 2060. Lastly, it touches on ethnic relations and the unique characteristics of American capitalism shaped by the belief in the American Dream.
