Abstract
Most reasonably educated, marginally politically aware Americans know by now that the world hates us. It's hard to miss-demonstrations in France, terrorism from the Middle East, and comments made worldwide after September 11 that we "got what we deserved" all point to the fact that the world has come to resent American dominance. Most Americans, however, rarely stop to consider why this has come to be the case, probably because we see ourselves as invulnerable (or, at least, we did until we started to become the targets of terrorism.)
According to Amy Chua, the reason we've become a magnet for worldwide ire is because we are the Earth's market-dominant minority. America, while a small fraction of the global population, holds an enormous percentage of its wealth. Through exhaustively researched and numerous examples, she explains that small minorities commanding the assets of a nation (or, in our case, the world) breeds often violently-expressed resentment in those less privileged.
