Description
First published in 2021, Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire is the culmination of Michael Hudson's analysis of the economic implications of the 1971 Nixon shock, when the US severed the dollar's link to gold. This pivotal event had far-reaching consequences for the global economy, and Hudson's work provides a detailed examination of the underlying factors that led to this momentous decision.
The book explores the complex web of economic and political relationships that shaped the US's economic strategy, from the post-Korean War era to the present day. Hudson's research sheds light on the intricate relationships between trade, finance, and military spending, and how these factors have influenced the course of global economic history.
With its meticulous analysis and insightful commentary, Super Imperialism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of global economic power and the strategies employed by major nations to maintain their influence.
