Bob's comment 3:11 PM. <br /><br />Kinzer's discussion of "glut" is I suspect in line with the views of new left revisionist historians - for example, William Appleman Williams who argued that "wars for the open door" were an underlying driver of US foreign policy more or less from then on. Basically from then up to the "neo-liberal world order" today.<earth that washttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635503399458271477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890852736639676808.post-10101039986204103072017-03-27T23:20:40.669-04:002017-03-27T23:20:40.669-04:00Thanks for that link.

This sounds like a "problem" in need of Austrian analysis. Solving the "problem" requires empire and Keynesian "stimulus", right? <br /><br />I have a continuing objection to Mr. Hedges as he always blames these types of Bob Roddishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263804608074597937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890852736639676808.post-9326788405608356362017-03-27T05:18:44.816-04:002017-03-27T05:18:44.816-04:00Libertarian scholars are all over the Spanish Amer...Libertarian scholars are all over the Spanish American war. Libertarian historian Joseph Stromberg has written extensively on this watershed of Empire. He wrote a particularly interesting review of Walter Karp's magnificently written "The Politics of War" in firstthings magazine. Stromberg 's review provides something of a libertarian class analysis of the drive to empire. earth that washttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635503399458271477noreply@blogger.com
