Great Britain has long ceased to be an empire in the legal sense, but in the philosophical sense - as an exporter of behavioral patterns - it remains one.

Modern ideas about democracy, freedom of speech, human rights, capitalism with an inhuman face and socialism with a human face, science, literature, Christmas turkey and afternoon tea, much of what the so-called Western Civilization is based on - come from the British nursery.

The book 'Anglomania' is about how, from vague premonitions, wills and hoots, clear formulations, stock market reports and poetic lines, ontological concepts and sexual orientations, over the course of almost two millennia, a myth was created that has become much more real than the boldest prophecies.
