Exploring the often-overlooked influence of luck on American identity, the author challenges the traditional belief that the Protestant ethic is the cornerstone of the nation's greatness. By examining historical perspectives from colonial times to the present, the narrative reveals how chance, luck, and gambling have played crucial roles in shaping the American character, presenting a fresh interpretation of the forces that have driven the nation’s development.
