The American Empire

The American Empire is a book written by Scott Nearing, an American economist and social activist, that explores the growth and impact of American capitalism.
In this book, Nearing argues that the American Empire, characterized by its expansive economic and military power, has been built through the exploitation of labor and natural resources both domestically and abroad. He examines the role of corporations, government policies, and the military-industrial complex in the creation and maintenance of this empire, and also critiques the social and environmental costs of this system.
Throughout the book, Nearing advocates for a more equitable and sustainable economic system that values human welfare and environmental protection over profit and power.
Overall, The American Empire is a thought-provoking and informative analysis of the economic and political forces that have shaped the United States into the global power it is today.
