The Roots of Contemporary Imperialism argues that the presence of
George W. Bush and the issues that accompanied his presidency, such
as popular repression and business domination, are not the result
of an authoritarian regression of U.S. politics but rather
represent the continuation of an approach that came into existence
during the age of the Founding Fathers. The creation of the federal
presidential republic, whose main purpose was not as much to
preserve the balance of power between the various branches of
government as to hinder any radical changes in society, shows how
the Fathers' main concern was not people's freedom but to devise
constitutional mechanisms intended to defend the properties,
wealth, and privileges of economic elites. In the author's view,
Barack Obama's recent election as the nominee of one of the two
wings of the single "business party," despite the rhetoric about
"change" and "hope," followed exactly the same pattern.
