Abstract
This chapter confronts the issue of whether a feudal past, its presence or absence, proves decisive in the subsequent development of political structure and ideology. By comparing the USA to Japan, the author analyzes hierarchy and homogeneity and the requirement of the elimination of the peasantry for the creation of a capitalist democracy.
