The Face of Imperialism, 2011;
Dr Michael Parenti adds shocking new evidence to the litany of injustices visited upon victims of U.S. imperialism: expropriation of their communal wealth and natural resources, complete privatization and deregulation of their economies, loss of local markets, deterioration of their living standards, a growing debt burden, and the bloodstained suppression of their democratic movements.
The fault does NOT lie with just us 'Rich Westerners'; I'm a 44 year old American; by most peoples standards (though I'm a mere SSD Pensioner!) I'm ENVIABLY WEALTHY; but I neither have children - nor do I plan on having any, unless I ADOPT them!
