Super Imperialism. The Economic Strategy of American Empire. Third Edition Paperback – September 30, 2021

Best historical reference book I've read - explains the rise of the US since 1900 at the expense of the rest of the world. War and trade is a business model the US has ruthlessly exploited - Hudson has recorded the ugly, callous methodology.

Serves as a meticulously cited reference book for understanding contemporary US economic history and the global structures that had underpinned U.S. hegemony.

This book right here explains exactly how our economy in the US stays afloat and on top of the world, despite the CEOs and oligarchs shipping majority of our industrious jobs overseas. Spoiler: it's not good, ethical, or sustainable. It also explains how and why China will soon control the world's economy, and despite the American media telling us how much it's China's fault, it's actually the US's fault.If you're going to be outraged about the American dream being take away from your generation, read this book to make sure you're outraged at the right people.

Hudson explains US monetary policy from the pre-WWI era to the present day and the points at which it goes through significant changes. He covers the goals of the US at the time, the perspectives of the victims and opponents of these policies and the reasons for changes in monetary policy. I had already read the previous edition but he updates this book to include how the China and Russia are building effective resistance to the machinations of the world bank, IMF, and to the hegemony of the dollar zone in general. Essential reading!

My favorite book

Absolutely terrific book on a topic of singular importance. If people had taken the first two editions seriously, the world might not be in the mess it's in today. Let's hope there's enough time left to do something along the lines Dr. Hudson suggests.

but it is as timely as ever. This certainly ranks as one of the most important books I have read in my life.

The method of communication in this book clarifies imperialism in a meaningful way the reader will appreciate.
