Main Currents in American History

About this book

'Main Currents in Modern American History' is a reinterpretation of the United States' experience over the past century, focusing on the nature and purposes of power and its institutions in all of their changing dimensions during the nation's history as a modern industrial capitalist country. Gabriel Kolko reconsiders historically the economy, politics, and foreign policy, and the interactions between them that create additional strengths as well as new problems and dangers for American capitalism.
