What's Wrong with America? - How the Rich and Powerful Have Changed America and Now Want to Change the World (Paperback)

It is a common perception that all is not well with the world - and in particular with the USA. It is not that George W Bush is crazy. Even if he is, the advisers around him are sophisticated enough. Like the Reagan and Clinton administrations before them, they are trying to solve a problem. Industrial profits are declining. In the US, this has produced unemployment, privatisation of public services and recession and their answer has been globalisation and war. For the poorer countries of the world, the consequences of this policy have been devastating. This powerful and immensely readable book shows that American policy that is aimed at solving domestic problems has enormous consequences for the rest of the world.
