This book critiques American domestic policy, highlighting how Empire or Republic? addresses the neglect of social and economic issues by past administrations.
In Empire or Republic?, the authors provide a thorough examination of American domestic policy, arguing that the administrations of Reagan, Bush, and Clinton prioritized global leadership over essential social and economic issues facing the nation. This well-researched critique highlights how these administrations have often overlooked pressing domestic challenges, leading to a disconnect between international ambitions and the needs of American citizens.
The book makes a crucial connection between the nation's foreign policies and the impact on its domestic situation. By analyzing the decisions made by these presidents, the authors reveal a pattern of neglect regarding domestic problems that require urgent attention. The focus on global leadership has, according to the authors, come at a significant cost to the well-being of the American populace.
Empire or Republic? serves as a call to reevaluate the priorities of American leadership. It encourages readers to consider the implications of foreign policy decisions on domestic issues, urging a more balanced approach that addresses the needs of the people while still engaging with the global community. This critique is not only timely but essential for understanding the current state of American politics and society.
"An important, well-researched critique of the new order at home and abroad. This book makes a complex subject accessible and interesting." -- Michael Parenti, author of The Sword and the Dollar, Democracy for the Few and Land of Idols
