A deeply researched investigation that reveals how the United States is like a spider at the heart of an international web of surveillance and control, which it weaves in the form of globe-spanning networks such as fiber optic cables and obscure payment systems
America’s security state first started to weaponize these channels after 9/11, when they seemed like necessities to combat terrorism―but now they’re a matter of course. Multinational companies like AT&T and Citicorp build hubs, which they use to make money, but which the government can also deploy as choke points. Today’s headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and technology disputes are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface.
Slowly but surely, Washington has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing the U.S. to maintain global supremacy. In the process, we have sleepwalked into a new struggle for empire. Using true stories, field-defining findings, and original reporting, Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman show how the most ordinary aspects of the post–Cold War economy have become realms of subterfuge and coercion, and what we must do to ensure that this new arms race doesn’t spiral out of control.

Has anyone seen Confessions of an Economic Hitman on audio?
November 16th, 2023
hi iconoclasthero, Confessions of an Economic Hitman has been revealed as fraudulent, in that it’s not a memoir and many of the things in the book did not happen and actually do not happen according to people who do that sort of work. (My politics are on the far left and very anti-capitalist, but it does not help our cause to have b******* books out there)

skay, links. I should not have to constantly remind young Americans for supporting evidence. That I need to is indicative of how far their education standards have fallen. Your teachers should have drilled that into you by 8th grade.

*Just Failed 70% of my Students for Lack of Citations*
“I failed 12 out of my 17 students over the weekend for not including in-text citations and/or a Works Cited for a research essay.
The citation requirement was stated in the assignment sheet and in class when I introduced the essay. We spent a 90-minute class session on how to correctly cite and format a Works Cited. I reminded them on their drafts during workshopping. I even tried to scare the fear of God into them the class before the deadline by telling them essays without appropriate citations and a Works Cited would be failed.
And I still had 70% of my class not do it.
I give up.
Seriously, I’m out of ideas for how to make these kids follow simple instructions. I don’t want to fail them. However, they actually need to put in the work to include an important and key part of a research essay.
But I guess that’s simply too much to ask.”

There is simply no way around the work+time part of a proper education. No wonder you are being out competed by former 3rd world nations. When empire loses it’s status as top reserve currency it’ll all fall on the heads of young people. Say what you will about evil Boomers and Gen-Xer’s but when we were in school, which we walked 1.5 miles each way, we had to do all the boring ass work even though it was not fun.
Lazy is as lazy does. Lazy and fragile. When it hits it’s going to be hard for them.
