Absolutizing of anything whether it be patriotism or nationalism can yield dangerous consequences. However, many times words like nationalism or patriotism are used in a colloquial equivalence to words such as patriotic and nationalistic. It is here I believe Klenser over reaches occasionally in his definition of nationalism. If a student does not understand…

Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” was an outstanding piece of work both for the fields of Sociology and Economics when it was published in the late seventeenth hundred.

politically, economically, and socially. According to The World in the 20th century: A Thematic Approach by Stephanie A. Hallock, nationalism is defined as “the self-perception that one is part of a nation, defined as a community with its own language, traditions, customs and history that distinguish it from other nations; a sense of identity that often becomes the primary focus of one’s loyalty” (Hallock, 5).
