    • Abstract:
      The article offers the author's opinion on the book "The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution" by Bernard Bailyn, suggesting to see the book as an opportunity for a new sort of economic history of the American Revolution. The author says that Bailyn accounts power as the enduring obsession of the Americans. He also says that the idea of sovereignty was unsecular in the years with which the book is concerned.
