U.S. Empire in Overdrive: They Can’t Win Wars But They Can’t Stop w/ Vijay Prashad
Vijay Prashad joins the show to discuss a new publication from the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Global South Insight. “Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage,” argues that the era of the U.S. Empire’s total economic and political reign over the world order has entered a new stage; one marked by Western decline, emergent Global South nations, and a Global North that can only over-extend itself militarily to cling to power but has no vision to offer the world’s people.
Vijay Prashad is the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute.
“When you add up the share of global military spending by the US and its main partners it’s 75% of world spending– compare that to China at 12%, it’s apples to oranges.” –
