Incoherent Empire by Michael Mann
Noted sociologist Michael Mann argues that the new American imperialism is actually a new militarism that will bring disaster to the US and the world.
Michael Mann applies the framework he developed in his classic work The Sources of Social Power to the American empireHe finds that its economic and ideological foundations are flimsy and that its only real strength is an ability to bully weak Third World countries. The United States wields 'power but not authority' and has succumbed to 'ruthless arrogance leading to overconfidence and hubris.' This is an important, provocative diagnosis by an experienced social analyst. -- Chalmers Johnson
Michael Mann is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His major works include the prizewinning series The Sources of Social Power, Volume I: A History of Power from the Beginning to 1760 AD, and Volume II: The Rise of Classes and Nation-States, 1760-1914.
