Dollar Diplomacy: A Study In American Imperialism

By Scott Nearing

Book Overview

""Dollar Diplomacy: A Study in American Imperialism"" is a book written by Scott Nearing that explores the concept of American imperialism through the lens of economic diplomacy. The book focuses on the period between 1900 and 1920, when the United States was expanding its influence in Latin America and Asia through economic means. Nearing argues that the American government used economic power to exert control over foreign nations, often at the expense of their own sovereignty and independence. The book examines various examples of this type of economic diplomacy, including the construction of the Panama Canal and the establishment of American-owned businesses in foreign countries. Nearing also discusses the role of American banks and corporations in shaping foreign policy during this time period. Overall, ""Dollar Diplomacy"" provides a critical analysis of American imperialism and its impact on the world stage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
