Excellent view of U.S. foreign policy

While Americans typically recoil at the notion that there exists an American Empire, Morris Morley provides an excellent framework for viewing U.S. actions, particularly towards Cuba. While many readers might challenge Morley's assumptions, it is hard to fight with his logic. Defined as "a state with boundaries for capital accumulation located far beyond its geographic limits" (imperialism and neoimperialism), Morley suggests that the Imperial State depends on an integration of government and business.
