Meer over het boek

The book examines America's complex status as an empire, arguing that despite military dominance, its economic foundations have been eroding since the Vietnam War. It engages with debates on American decline versus enduring superpower status, analyzing systemic vulnerabilities such as financialization, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. By linking domestic issues to foreign policy challenges, it offers a critical perspective on the neo-imperial governance of the United States since WWII, suggesting a shift in understanding from power to vulnerability.
