Описание
With the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States' long war on communism was replaced by a perpetual "war on terror." The authors posit that this neo-imperialistic phase is but the latest development in a line of thought and action established after World War II. But, they say, 2005 is not 1945. Today, they argue, the United States uses its power to deplete the resources of the developing world, and to compel the rest of the world to remain dependent on American management of the global economy. Contending that this situation is ultimately untenable, they assert that the United States is entering a period of deep crisis. The best thing for American neo-imperialists to do to avert their worst nightmare--a strategic and economic alliance among Europe, Russia, China, and OPEC--would be to arrange for the orderly withdrawal of American power before it is too late for the human and environmental security of the world.
