William O. Walker III presents a new interpretation of the history of American exceptionalism. He argues that a political economy of expansion and the quest for security led officials to equate prosperity and safety with global engagement. They consequently developed a 'security ethos,' which ultimately damaged the nation's core values and impaired popular participation in public affairs.
