1. American Rule
How a Nation Conquered the World but Failed Its People
A trenchant critique of contemporary American politics and power, this book traces how decades of neoliberal economic policy, militarism, corporate extraction, and racialized politics hollowed out democratic institutions and ordinary people's lives, producing inequality, social despair, and the rise of reactionary authoritarianism; blending historical analysis, reportage, and personal reflection, it connects domestic political decay to imperial ambitions abroad and concludes with a call to rebuild collective power through organizing, solidarity, and renewed democratic struggle.
