Description
This analysis of the economic strategy of American Empire, first published in 1971, has been revised and finalized by Michael Hudson. The book examines the impact of the US's economic policies on its foreign relations, particularly in the aftermath of the 1971 dollar crisis.
The crisis, which saw the US sever its link to gold, was a response to decades of escalating overseas military spending, which had pushed the balance of payments into a deepening deficit since the Korean War. Hudson's work provides a detailed look at the economic and political factors that led to this crisis and its ongoing implications.
With 494 pages, this hardcover edition offers a comprehensive exploration of the economic strategy of American Empire. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between economics, politics, and international relations.
