Feudal America: Elements of the Middle Ages in Contemporary Society. Феодальная Америка: элементы Средневековья в современном обществе. Владимир Шлапентох, Джошуа Вудс (Vladimir Shlapentokh, Joshua Woods) ; Pennsylvania State University Press

Do Americans live in a liberal capitalist society, where evenhanded competition rules the day, or a society in which big money, private security, and personal relations determine key social outcomes? Vladimir Shlapentokh and Joshua Woods argue that the answer to these questions cannot be found among the conventional models used to describe the nation. Offering a new analytical tool, the authors present a provocative explanation of the nature of contemporary society by comparing its essential characteristics to those of medieval European societies.
