The Power of Israel over the United States
I find it absolutely scary how a little "country" has so much control over our congress and our people here in the U.S.A.Unless we the people wake up and revolt against this foreign powers' control here , we as a nation are doomed to follow in the same path of the Roman Empires' demise.

Clarity Press, 2007

Good Academic Analysis and Thought Provoking
This is the second book that I have read by James Petras- the first was 'The Power of Israel in the United States'. I enjoyed his first book as well as this one.

Mainly, he points the finger at MNC's ...

James Petras, Henry Veltmeyer

Pluto Press, 2005

A lighter and fancier rendition of imperialism
"Globalization" is deemed to be something very cool and new age. We hear people say things like "we live in a small village called the World and globalization what makes this happen". It all sounds very nice, fancy and cool! But, do you think it is really cool for those who are "globalized"? The authors basically argue that globalization is some sort of new fancy name for imperialism with ...
