Description
The American Deep State: Big Money, Big Oil, and the Struggle for U.S. Democracy In this updated edition, prominent political analyst Peter Dale Scott examines the profound changes that have taken place in the United States since World War II. He argues that the country's increasing militarization, erosion of constitutional rights, and growing income disparity are all linked to the emergence of a hidden "deep state" that influences and often opposes official policies. Scott contends that the deep state is partly institutionalized in non-accountable intelligence agencies, but its reach extends far beyond these public institutions. He reveals how private corporations, such as Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC, have become integral to the intelligence budget, and how Wall Street bankers and lawyers, allied with international oil companies, wield significant influence behind the scenes.
