The heart of this exploration is the transformation of Anglo-America from a small Tudor kingdom into a global power over three centuries, a feat unmatched by other European nations. The author argues that this evolution is rooted in three significant English-speaking civil wars: the English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the American Civil War. These conflicts, characterized as wars between cousins, forged critical religious, ethnic, and political alliances among English-speaking nations, setting them on distinct paths toward global leadership—one aristocratic and imperial in the nineteenth century, and the other more egalitarian and democratic in the twentieth. These wars also had devastating effects on African Americans, Native Americans, and the Irish. The analysis reveals the interconnectedness of these conflicts and their mutual influence, offering surprising interpretations across the political spectrum. For instance, the U.S. Constitution, while innovative, is critiqued as a flawed compromise that contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War, the bloodiest of the cousins' wars. As the new millennium prompts a reevaluation of the nation's historical role, this narrative provides a sweeping and thought-provoking perspective on the triumph of Anglo-America.

Exploring the detrimental impact of America's financial sector, this book delves into the roots of rising debt, soaring mortgage rates, and escalating oil prices. It offers a sobering analysis of how these factors threaten the nation's economy and its status as a global power, presenting a cautionary perspective on the future trajectory of America.

The bestselling author reveals how the U.S. financial sector has hijacked our economy and jeopardized America's global future. In a previous work, the author warned of the dangerous interplay between debt, financial recklessness, and the rising costs of scarce oil. The ongoing housing and mortgage crisis exemplifies this foresight and signals a looming national crisis. The author explores the ramifications of misguided economic policies, escalating debt, a collapsing housing market, and the threat to oil resources, highlighting the decline of American dominance in global markets. Current challenges echo the decline of past world economic powers, particularly the Dutch and British, marked by global overreach, worn-out politics, excessive debt, and exhausted energy systems. "Bad Money" captures the emergence of a U.S. economy that is overly reliant on hubris-driven financial services. It also critiques the risk miscalculations and strategic abuses surrounding multitrillion-dollar products like asset-backed securities and hedge funds. Furthermore, the U.S. dollar has weakened, becoming vulnerable to other currencies. This "bad" finance has ultimately failed the American people, steering U.S. capitalism toward a global crisis. This work serves as a timely follow-up, with warnings that are increasingly resonant.

An explosive examination of the coalition of forces that threatens the nation, from the bestselling author of American Dynasty In his two most recent bestselling books, American Dynasty and Wealth and Democracy , Kevin Phillips established himself as a powerful critic of the political and economic forces that rule—and imperil—the United States, tracing the ever more alarming path of the emerging Republican majority’s rise to power. Now Phillips takes an uncompromising view of the current age of global overreach, fundamentalist religion, diminishing resources, and ballooning debt under the GOP majority. With an eye to the past and a searing vision of the future, Phillips confirms what too many Americans are still unwilling to admit about the depth of our misgovernment.

Der amerikanische Ölmagnat Rockefeller war um 1900 der reichste Mann der Erde. Sein Sohn schenkte 1947 der UNO das Gelände für ihren heutigen Sitz in New York. Die Verknüpfungen zwischen den Inhabern der großen Vermögen und den Schaltstellen der Macht sind in den USA bis heute offensichtlich - auch die Familie des jetzigen Präsidenten George W. Bush hat zahlreiche Verbindungen zu den reichsten Familien der USA. Kevin Phillips schildert, wie die großen Vermögen entstanden sind. Er deckt dabei eine subtile Form der Korruption auf, die nicht auf Bestechungen beruht, sondern auf der kulturellen Wertschätzung von Reichtum und finanzieller Macht und einem daraus abgeleiteten politisch-ökonomischen System im Namen von freiem Unternehmertum und nationaler Sicherheit. Phillips bezeichnet die USA provozierend als Plutokratie, in der die Regierung die Interessen der Reichen schützt, und hat damit in den USA eine heftige Kontroverse ausgelöst. »Ein provozierendes Buch, das breit diskutiert werden sollte.« Houston Chronicle»Eine scharfsinnige Analyse über die bedenklichen Auswirkungen von Reichtum und Kapital auf die Demokratie.« Publisher's Weekly
