Samenvatting:

The Bush Agenda is the first book to expose the Bush Administration’s radical economic program for global domination: a plan more extreme and audacious than any of Bush’s predecessors; a plan that has created the greatest level of violent opposition to America and Americans in recent history. The basis is an economic model based on “free trade”-positing that the removal of restrictions on multinational corporations frees these large companies to become engines of economic growth in countries around the world. The result is vast wealth for a small number of global elites (heads of corporations such as Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, ChevronTexaco, and Halliburton), while entire populations suffer dislocation, poverty, and violence-a perfect environment for breeding terrorists. The Bush Agenda also overviews U.S. economic relations in the preceding 25 years, and profiles in detail the key architects of this unilateral plan.
