Reviews

Socialist Register 2005: Empire Reloaded by Leo Panitch

Various contributors ask and discuss: how does the new American Empire work?; who runs it?; how stable is it?; what is the new American Empire's impact throughout the world?; what is its influence on gender relations?; on the media?; on popular culture?

Bold and true, it seems: Government is portrayed as implicitly subsidiary to business. Based on the intuition and scholarship of the author's teacher, Ralph Miliband.
