This book offers a critical analysis of the rise of the US to
global hegemony against a background of increased erosion of
democracy and rule of law, and a rising linear pattern of
near-absolute capitalist development. The author argues that the
significant shrinkage of the ideological spectrum globally, as a
result of worrisome levels of business and government
interpenetration, has created a dangerous 'prefascist
configuration' whereby unthinkable levels of violence have been
normalized through the use of technologies such as drones,
increasingly condoned even by 'liberal' groups and the so-called
political left. Using the example of the Obama administration and
its increased reliance on drone assassinations, the volume makes a
case for the dangers that lie in today's unique convergence of lack
of transparency in government, business-government
interpenetration, informal social regimentation, and militarization
of capitalism.
