About the Book
Petras provides clear insight into how the depression and regional wars that originated in Washington and on Wall Street are spreading throughout the world, demolishing the ideology of free market neo-liberalism and focing to the forefront the need for structural changes. This book exposes the unsustainability of the United States’ military-driven empire building based on a volatile speculative economy, and influenced by Zionist policy makers committed to the colonialist state of Israel, irrespective of US interests. It offers a critical study of the decling of the US empire, its causes, ramifications, and possible future outcomes. The collapse of the capitalist free market and the need for large-scale, long-tem interventions by the state have once again raised the question of whose interests states are presently promoting, and how the interests of the world’s peoples might be better pursued.
