The Fall of the US Empire - And Then What? (Peace, Development, Environment, 5) Paperback – January 1, 2009

4.2 out of 5 stars 14

THE FALL OF THE US EMPIRE - AND THEN WHAT? Successors, Regionalization or Globalization? US Fascism or US Blossoming? This book explores a global phenomenon now taking place for the eyes of the The Fall of the US Empire. Nothing extraordinary about that, all empires so far have had life cycles, and the US Empire is no exception. In no way should that be confused with any fall of the USA; just to the contrary, the fall of the US Empire may lead to the blossoming of the US Republic. And in no way should the book be seen as "anti-American"; just to the contrary. Part I, The Present, explores the why, what, how, when and where of the present decline and fall of the US Empire, based on a theory used in 1980 to predict the fall of the Soviet empire. Part II, The Future, And Then What? explores the world as a whole with three global scenarios, successors, regionalization or globalization, mainly the latter, and the US Republic with two domestic scenarios, US fascism and US blossoming, mainly the latter. Part III, The Past, is dedicated to a study from 1979 comparing the Western Roman Empire processes with Western imperialism millennia later.

The seller gave an accurate discription of the condition of the book, the packing was reasonable, the shipping was prompt.

I wish that there was a Kindle edition. Everyone who is sanguine about the health of the government should read this.

For this international transaction, it was as good as buying locally from Amazon itself. The book arrived well ahead of schedule in perfect condition. Thank you for the ability to buy a book that is not in print in the US.

The book provides an interesting point of view about the foreign policy of the USA. A bit difficult to read but worth it. I decided to read more books by the same writer.

I found it too technical and read like a textbook and it's dated now.

This book is not well structured, there are overcomplicated sentences, too much foreign expressions totally without any reasons inside. I was watching also video presentations from Johan Galtung and I liked them for being able to present his ideas and make good points, but this book is nearly a total opposite of it. It's messy, its not telling anything surprising and all the shocking facts and revelations are fuzzy and unsound. Really pity, it could have been a really nice book but something went wrong.

Not an easy read, never the less very informative and too the point. Lot's of comparissions and parallels to past empires as well as suggestions and ideas how to avoid previous pitfalls.
