The Liberal Virus by Samir Amin
Permanent War and the Americanization of the World
A trenchant critique of global neoliberalism that likens the spread of market-oriented, American-style liberal economic and political models to a destructive contagion, arguing they promote permanent military intervention, economic dependency, social dislocation and the dismantling of national development strategies in the Global South. The book traces how policies of privatization, deregulation, debt and free trade serve transnational capital, erode local sovereignty and livelihoods, and produce cycles of underdevelopment and conflict rather than prosperity. It calls for resisting this hegemonic order through alternative development paths, regional cooperation and a multipolar world that prioritizes social justice and autonomy over market fundamentalism.
