In the last half-century we have witnessed a dramatic expansion of
American corporate power into every corner of the world,
accompanied by an equally awesome growth in U.S. military power.
This book analyzes this global empire: what interests it serves and
what effect it has on the peoples of the world and on their
struggles for real democracy and social justice. The enormous cost
of this superpower expansionism is borne by the U.S. public. The
empire feeds off the republic. A richly financed corporate-military
complex is matched at home by increasing poverty, the defunding of
state and local governments, drastic cutbacks in human services,
decaying infrastructure, and impending ecological disaster. This
book shows that the people of the targeted nations suffer
expropriation of their communal wealth and natural resources,
complete privatization and deregulation of their economies, loss of
local markets, deterioration of their living standards, growing
debt burdens, and the bloodstained suppression of their democratic
movements. The empire s wars help maintain the international system
of finance capital. Countries that attempt to pursue an independent
course of self-development apart from global free-market capitalism
are demonized as anti-American and anti-West and subjected to
sanctions, economic strangulation, regime change, and if necessary,
direct aerial attack and invasion."
