- Title
Connecting the Dots: The Foundation of American Empire.
- Authors
Harvey, Douglas S.
- Abstract
Contrary to popular political pundit monkey chatter, the current political economy of the United States is not the result of the Bush Republicans, the Obama/Clinton Democrats, or even the Liberal/Conservative schism stemming from the New Deal era. The creation of the early American republic left numerous issues unresolved and set in motion machinery that has manifested itself in government by Wall Street bankers and war profiteers, a foreign policy dominated by militarism, and an economy hooked on war. By employing a potent combination of a close reading of the sources, good writing, and intellectual honesty, author William Hogeland connects the dots on the origins of corporate American hegemony.
