Delusions of Power
New Explorations of the State, War, and Economy
Taking a close look at the dense fabric that the US government weaves between war, state power, and economics, this collection of essays reveals the growing authority - and corruption - of the American state. Covering topics from the Lyndon Johnson presidency to the provocatively titled article 'Military-Economic Fascism', it argues that the US government consistently exploits national crises and then invents timely rhetoric that limits the rights and liberties of all citizens for the benefit of the few.
