For over a century now, America has dominated global politics and
the global imagination. Yet as the dollar declines, inequality
increases, rates of consumption are unprecedented and American
unilateralism comes under fire, such hegemony is increasingly
unsustainable. In this provocative new book, leading sociologist
Jan Nederveen Pieterse asks whether it's possible for America to
chart a different course. Nederveen Pieterse argues that correcting
the course of decline would mean taking drastic steps. Only a
reinvention of New Deal politics could address social inequality,
whilst repositioning itself in world politics would mean adopting
genuine multilateralism. In the current 'American bubble' however,
political and corporate unaccountability are so entrenched, and the
constants of policy - support for Wall Street, the Pentagon and
Israel - are so widely accepted by powerful elites that change is
unlikely to come from within. Is there Hope for Uncle Sam? is a
clear and provocative look at one of the big questions facing us in
this century.
