Mountain of Paradise challenges conventional taxonomies of world
civilizations by introducing a new and formidable candidate: the
civilization of Greater California presently incubating as the
evolution of California into a veritable "nation-state" or "world
commonwealth" according to contemporary commentators and scholars.
Through a series of reflective essays it clarifies the momentous
implications of this claim by a thorough account of the
genealogical origins of "California", permutation into its
speculative moment of self-identity thanks to prolonged creative
interchange with European thought and philosophy, advancement to
status of a socio-economic powerhouse by the 1950s and 1960s,
invention of distinctly Californian variants of political economy
by the 1970s and 1980s, and present domination over regions
formerly classified as "Greater California". In its range and
originality Mountain of Paradise constitutes a robust contribution
to current political, social, economic and global thematics.
