The Golden Thread, Volume II begins in 1500, when the Protestant Reformation brought an end of the Roman Catholic Church’s dominance over European states. It then turns to the rise of imperial powers that swiftly circled the globe, and to the explosion of intellectual, economic, and technological advancements sparked by the Enlightenment. In its closing chapters, The Golden Thread engages with the most significant questions facing the West today.
America’s Revolutionary Mind is the first major reinterpretation of the American Revolution since the publication of Bernard Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution and Gordon S. Wood’s The Creation of the American Republic.
The purpose of this book is twofold: to elucidate the logic, principles, and significance of the Declaration of Independence as the embodiment of the American mind; and to shed light on what John Adams once called the “real American Revolution”—that is, the moral revolution that occurred in the minds of the people in the fifteen years before 1776.
By the dawn of the twentieth century, the United States had become the world’s greatest economic power and an increasingly important actor on the world stage.

Minding our own business, while leaving other peoples to mind theirs, was the basis of the United States’ successful foreign policy from 1815 to 1910.

Governmental abuse by a class of so-called experts has grown unchecked because of Progressives’ quiet regime change over the last century and their replacing our constitutional republic with that administrative state. American Leviathan details how an empowered executive in the White House can move forward to effectively devolve and break apart the administrative state that is the Leviathan crushing the freedoms of the American people.
Through examining a wide range of topics from his “motherland” of California to the intellectuals at The Claremont Institute who influenced his thinking, Anton invites the reader to understand the nature of the American regime and share his burdened love for America itself.
