| description | Crises in the US since the first half of the nineteenth century have often been more brutal than elsewhere, but have also been pregnant with more tangible changes and irrational promises. These would-be apocalypses, although unwittingly fertile, are also fast forgotten.Each new crisis tends to be interpreted as stemming from the subjection of America's territory to a few men's impatient craving for possession, while the original yearning shaping the American psyche - for spiritual, or at least moral, regeneration - gradually fades into oblivion. This desire-generated crisis pattern seems to match the crises of the 1830s and the 1890s. To what extent it fits in with the current crisis is what we shall also try to determine. |
