«El planeta americano» is the essay by Vicente Verdú, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Verdú analyzes how the United States became the great myth of the twentieth century: cinema, music, consumption, customs and values. He argues that a complete way of life is imported, not isolated elements, and that its expansion across Europe and Latin America responds to the country's founding ideals. The work questions whether that model benefits other cultures.
It won the XXIV Anagrama Essay Prize and belongs to the Argumentos collection (no. 180).
Aimed at readers interested in sociology, cultural criticism and essays on the influence of the United States on the world.
Vicente Verdú was a Spanish writer, journalist and economist.
