About this ebook
- The book offers an understanding of empire that challenges the conventional wisdom, shows how the United States has backed itself into the blind corner of empire, explores the consequences of imperial collapse, and proposes a renewal of democratic institutions as the one constructive way forward.
- This isn't about abstractions, or events distant in space or time. This is about today's news stories, right where you are living now.
- Demonstrates how America's current military dominance will most likely collapse catastrophically in the near future
- The competitions talks about whether today's American empire should survive, attention ought to be paid to whether it can survive. That question is at the heart of Decline and Fall, and the answer is "no."
- The book sketches out the possibilities for a creative response to the aftermath of American empire—and for the restoration of democratic institutions that might be created as we move forward
- The author has more than thirty books currently in print, including four with New Society Publishers, and. is also the author of the widely read peak oil blog The Archdruid Report
- All empires fall, and America's is falling. It's time to start talking about what comes next.
