Description
The Trilateral Commission: A Powerful Force in Global Politics In 1973, a group of influential individuals came together to shape the future of international relations. The Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, aimed to create a "New International Economic Order". With a small but significant membership, the Commission's executive committee wielded considerable power, influencing the economic policies of America, Japan, and Europe. The Commission's impact was felt in the 1976 US presidential election, where two Trilateral members, James Earl Carter and Walter Mondale, were elected to the Executive Branch. This marked the beginning of a 40-year period of Trilateral influence over the US economy. The Commission's agenda also led to the development of the Sustainable Development and Green Economy doctrine, as outlined in Patrick Wood's book Technocracy Rising. Originally published in 1979-1980, Trilaterals Over Washington has been widely acclaimed for its scholarly research and original insights. With over 75,000 copies sold internationally, it has become a frequently used textbook in political science classes. This book provides a detailed examination of the Trilateral Commission's history and influence, offering a unique perspective on global politics and economics.
