Unlike his coma Dante a historical perspective, the author rightly in his book to show how past world powers, from the Romans to the British Empire, and not suffer the same criticism of the United States is currently with the beginning of the 21. Century. American theocracy shows that essentially all the world dominant power tries, from the sirens of the productioncapacity worldwide, and finally fall into depletion of resources lcome, runaway debt and the wars of militant religion.

In Part I of the American theocracy , Kevin Phillips examines the impact of oil preocupation, past and present. The book argues that American primacy is through our exploitation and effective use of a new form of energy that in the global economy. While other nations were trapped in their Schwungmassen of coal, wind and water infrastruttureructuur, America quickly the versatility of this or, or black, and the influence of a nation around him. In reality, only about five percent of the world, America still consumes more than 25 percent of global reserves of oil. However, the supply of this valuable resource is always a concern. American theocracy of the Second World War, particularly datwerd led by Japan and Germany for the control  this important fossil bcarburante for modern economies. The book deals miterklären that the U.S. is deep in the petro-imperialism in the last century. In addition, for our economy is becoming increasingly difficult to find and extract, even if the global economy demands more. Un po 'know that all of this, as other Middle East supplies, you datIrak is the last big reserves of oil on the planet. And all that remains nearly brah, near the American superficie.Teocrazia desschreiben how Iraq has never been able to pump much of its oil, with the United Nations sanctions jaren'90 at war with Iran in the middle - 80 and later. With little disguised pretext for the spread of democracy and the fight against terrorism, it is not surprising given the history of petro-imperialism in the Middle East, and the fact that about one trillion U.S. Dollar gains for the Schätzung (American) companies that pump, we are with the troops in Iraq.

For imübernommen, Part II In this book, the unprecedented rise in evangelical religion and its growing influence in American politics, especially under the presidency of George W. Bush. Kevin Phillips believes Republicans around the world in apocalyptic terms, and efforts to shape domestic and foreign policy in fundamentalist religion. The excessive influence of religion nellarealtà, religion and age (Conservative) has reasonable grounds for inept policy, Chunder only weaken our respect, prestige and efficiency worldwide. This eagerness to us on a collision course with much of Islam, the ranks, ironically, of terrorists, and not too many ofonze wrong that enpeligro a prophecy. American theocracy describes it as a threat to our future, as virtually every war is fought over resources oof religious ideology. There seems to be exported in the first and most common of these.

In Part III, American theocracy is the traditional function of a world that too much power over consumption and massive public debt and PRIVADA.
