Finished reading: The Ideas That Made America: A Brief History by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen 📚

Meh. As a work of American intellectual history, The Ideas That Made America offers fairly bland summaries of major ideas in American history while failing to weave them into any larger narrative that would provide the book with some raison d’être. Also, Ratner-Rosenhagen undersells the influence of religious ideas. Verdict: save the time and skip this one.
