Petras (emeritus, sociology, State U. of New York at Binghamton) offers a systemic left perspective on US imperialism at the current historical moment. He covers a large variety of interconnected issues in relatively few pages, including the relationship between market liberalization and forced emigration, corruption as a central facet of economic empire-building, imperialism as the driving force of genocide, Zionist power in US government and media institutions, political developments in China and Latin America, alternative economic policies to those dictated by the "Washington Consensus," and the centrality of Iraq and Afghanistan in defeating the empire.
