Empire in Overdrive: Get Rich or Die Tryin w/ Vijay Prashad

Vijay Prashad joins the show to discuss a new publication from the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Global South Insight. “Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage,” argues that the era of the U.S. Empire’s total economic and political reign over the world order has entered a new stage; one marked by Western decline, emergent Global South nations, and a Global North that can only over-extend itself militarily to cling to power but has no vision to offer the world’s people. Vijay Prashad is the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute. #breakthroughnews
