If Texas were independent it would be the 10th largest economy in the world. The last time the state voted Democrat was in 1976 but alongside the clich茅s of gunslinging, oil prospecting and rodeo riding, there's a bustling, urbane side to Texas, and it could signal big changes in American politics. Pulitzer prize winning author Lawrence Wright has turned his attention to his home state. His new book is called God Save Texas, a journey into the future of America.
