Title: Politics or economics?
Product review: The difference between a journalist and a scholar is that a journalist will write a book to mirror the views of his intended audience. This book is journalism, not scholarship. It is very well-written and will tell you what you want to hear. The author has advances an hypothesis as well as an agenda. I found Robert J. Lieber's book The American Era much more dispassionate and realistic.
