Sinossi

Western Front examines the extensive history of U.S. foreign policy within the Western Hemisphere, highlighting conflicts, military interventions, and diplomatic strategies that have shaped the region and the United States itself. A key focus is the enduring tension between promoting U.S. strategic interests and fostering regional stability, a balance often disrupted by unintended consequences. The book analyzes the evolution from the Monroe Doctrine through the Cold War and the War on Drugs, alongside diplomatic efforts such as treaties and trade agreements, offering a crucial understanding of contemporary geopolitical dynamics.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with early U.S. expansionism and its impact on indigenous populations and newly independent Latin American nations. Subsequent chapters explore specific periods and events, including the Spanish-American War and the Good Neighbor Policy. By using both primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and military reports, Western Front provides a holistic perspective on U.S. foreign policy, making it valuable for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding U.S. foreign relations.

Burned by Billionaires - How...

Chuck Collins

Recently, it has become increasingly evident that extreme concentrations of wealth and power have profound impacts on our politics, but extreme inequality's influence on our daily lives—and our futures—has been vastly overlooked.In Burned by Billionaires, Chuck Collins, an author and a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us. Collins takes down the "myth of meritocracy," unraveling how the rich rig the game in their favor, resulting in a concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny (but growing) class of billionaires—leading to intense income and political polarization. Collins charts this economic, social, and ecological destruction and shows how these effects manifest in every facet of our society. 
 
Collins argues that perhaps, worst of all, the concentration of wealth and power is leading to political hijacking, undermining the democratic principle that our votes matter equally. This book is an urgent call-to-action and road map to a more equitable society, where everyone has access to the resources that will allow them to thrive. Burned by Billionaires offers a pointed prescription for taking power back from the billionaire class and achieving the shared prosperity that comes from a healthy and equal society.
