The Sword and the Dollar: Imperialism Revolution & the Arms Race by Michael Parenti St. Martin's Press 1989 Sixth Printing
Title: The Sword and the Dollar: Imperialism Revolution & the Arms Race
Author: Michael Parenti
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: St. Martin's Press 1989
Edition: Sixth Printing [fedcba]
ISBN: 9780312022952
Size: 6 X 8.5 * 210 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: To many, the foreign policy directives of the United States seem bewildering and sometimes inharmonious with its domestic political values. Why does the U.S. seem to support foreign dictators? Why has it invested so many of its resources in stockpiling nuclear arms? Why doesn't the U.S. act as a force for peace throughout the world? In this probing, provocative analysis, Michael Parenti reveals the hidden agenda of American foreign policy decisions. No matter which party is in power, the U.S. acts to protect the interests of large American-based corporations, in order to maintain valuable overseas markets and cheap foreign labor.
In lucid detail, Michael Parenti examines just how these very private interests determine America's public policy goals, from the impoverishment of developing nations to the building of an intimidating nuclear arsenal. What he discovers will surely be controversial and suggests that the greatest threats to democracy-both here and abroad-may emanate from within the United States itself.
MICHAEL PARENTI received his Ph.D. in political science from Yale University in 1962. He has taught at a number of colleges and universities, and has lectured widely on college campuses and before religious, labor, community, and public interest groups around the country. His previous books include Democracy for the Few, The Anti-Communist Impulse, and Inventing Reality: The Politics of the Mass Media. Mr. Parenti lives in Washington, D.C.
