The Bush Agenda

Invading the World, One Economy at a Time

Évaluation du livre

En savoir plus sur le livre

This book exposes the radical economic agenda of the Bush Administration, which seeks global domination through a unilateral and extreme approach, resulting in unprecedented violent opposition to America. It examines the strategy of invading the world via a corporate globalization agenda, starting with Iraq and extending to the Middle East through initiatives like the proposed U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Area, forming a core part of the Bush Doctrine of Pax Americana. The concept of "free trade" promoted by the administration suggests that deregulating multinational corporations will spur economic growth globally. However, this model often leads to wealth concentration among a small elite, while vast populations face dislocation, poverty, and violence, creating fertile ground for terrorism. Key players in this economic takeover include major corporations such as Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, ChevronTexaco, and Halliburton. The book also delves into 25 years of U.S. economic relations worldwide, the influence of American corporations, and the broader implications of the Bush economic agenda for the U.S. and beyond. It concludes with viable alternatives for a more peaceful and sustainable future. Drawing inspiration from Naomi Klein and Eric Schlosser, it presents hard facts in an engaging manner for a wide audience.
