Origins of the Warfare State
World War II and the Transformation of American Politics
The post-World War II emergence of a full-blown state of perpetual war is arguably the most important feature of contemporary American politics. This book examines the warfare state in terms of a broad ensemble of structures, policies, and ideologies. Carl Boggs makes the argument that the Good War led to an authoritarian system that has expanded throughout the post-war decades, undermining liberal-democratic institutions and values in the process. He goes on to suggest that current American electoral politics show no sign of rolling back the warfare state and in fact, may push it to a new threshold bordering on American fascism.
