The Narcissism of Minor Differences: How America and Europe Are Alike ReviewMost politically-enagaged Americans already think they know about Europe; either it's a decadent and pusillanimous continent that should serve as a warning or a more civilized and socially-cohesive place that America should aspire to emulate. Baldwin challenges these lazy assumptions with a mountain of objective data that show America tends to fall within the European range in a host of quantifiable respects. While not denying that the United States is distinct in a number of ways, the author shows convincingly that the differences between the US and "Europe" is often less pronounced than the differences between individual European countries. Perhaps the most valuable implicit lesson in the book is that "Europe" as a concept is extremely nebulous and not particularly valuable for comparisons. Baldwin's book is a quick read and though I sometime found the statistics a bit dry, his constant resort to quantifiable data keeps the thrust of the argument from becoming too subjective. I wish he would follow up his work here with a more opinionated sequel, but perhaps that would detract from the modest, objective qualities of this book.
