The American Empire and the Commonwealth of God - A Political, Economic, Religious Statement

Informationen zum Autor David Ray Griffin is codirector of the Center for Process Studies and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy of Religion at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. His previous books include Physics and the Ultimate Significance of Time (1986), The Reenchantment of Science (1988), and Founders of Constructive Postmodern Philosophy (1992). Klappentext In this book, four distinguished scholars level a powerful critique of the rapid expansion of the emerging American empire and its oppressive and destructive political, military, and economic policies. Arguing that a global Pax Americana is internationally disastrous, the authors demonstrate how America's imperialism inevitably leads to rampant irreversible ecological devastation, expanding military force for imperialistic purposes, and a grossly inequitable distribution of goods--all leading to the diminished well-being of human communities.
