Beschreibung

Oil and Ambition: The Economic Forces Behind the U.S. Actions Against Hussein and Gaddafi dives deep into the geopolitical, economic, and historical forces that shaped U.S. involvement in the Middle East. Written by William Ubagan, this compelling exploration uncovers the intricate motivations behind the toppling of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.
 
Through meticulous research and sharp analysis, the book reveals how oil politics and shifting foreign policy priorities influenced decisions to intervene in Iraq and Libya. It examines the propaganda narratives used to justify these actions and critiques the ethical and long-term consequences of regime change in these oil-rich nations.
 
Highlighting the chaos and instability left in the wake of intervention, Oil and Ambition offers a nuanced perspective on U.S. foreign policy, the legacies of two controversial leaders, and the continuing struggles in the Middle East. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the true cost of ambition on the global stage.

    Originally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labor and Capital were intended to give an overview of Marx’s central theories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes “labor” from “labor-power”, and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes. These theories were later elaborated in Volume 1 of Capital, published in 1867. Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA was a German philosopher, a critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital.
