Our guest is noted economist Michael Hudson, known for his analysis of the geopolitical machinations of global economics.
Michael prefers the Q&A format, so bring your questions.
Some of the topics we plan to ask about:
- Who or what do we mean when we talk about “US interests”?
- US global power was once grounded in industrial strength; how does it exercise hegemony now?
- Tariff policy cannot restore US industry. Talk about the global blowback.
- Control of the global oil trade is a core instrument of US power. Talk about the use of blockades, asset seizures, and regime-change operations.
- Talk about which elements of the oligarchy are leveraging their interests through choke points, disruption, and threats of force. What do they expect to solve and how are they responding to resistance?
