…henry farrell recommending book on historical us hegemony building and lessons for today
“Okay, so I've got three books, one of which is directly connected to these questions. It's by a woman, a historian called Mary Bridges, called Dollars and Dominion. And so it is, on the one hand, it is not about what is happening right now. It is about what was happening in the beginning of the 1900s when the United States was trying to build up the kind of hegemony that we've talked about during the course of this show. And it is really about how the people who are trying to build it up look like some of the people who are acting now sort of in the twilight of this period. They are very self-interested. They're kind of venal. They're building on their political connections. And they also don't have much of a clue of what they are doing.”
