Description

Against Empire by Michael Parenti This book examines the ruthless agenda and hidden costs of the US empire in the modern world. Parenti documents the pretexts and lies used to justify violent intervention and maldevelopment abroad, revealing how the conversion to a global economy benefits finance capital over democracy. As the Third-Worldization of the United States accelerates, civil society is impoverished by policies that favor rich and powerful transnational corporations and the national security state. The hard-won gains made by ordinary people are swept away, leaving behind a trail of unspeakable misery in many parts of the world. Parenti's engaging style sheds light on the consequences of US foreign policy, exposing the true costs of imperialism and globalization.
