- Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire
“Never before has a bankrupt nation dared insist that its bankruptcy become the foundation of world economic policy; that, because of its bankruptcy, all the nations what their economies transferring its bankruptcy to themselves, stultifying their industries, and paying tribute to the beggar.” [read more…] - …and forgive them their debts
“Renowned professor of economics, Michael Hudson – and one of the few who could see the 2008 financial crisis coming…he and his colleagues have documented the archeological record and history of debt, and how societies have dealt with (or failed to deal with) the proliferation of debts that cannot be paid…discover shocking historical truths about how debt played a central role in shaping ancient societies.

“The Collapse of Antiquity, the sequel to Michael Hudson’s “…and forgive them their debts,” is the latest in his trilogy on the history of debt.

So far, the West has not risen to this challenge.” [read more…]
