This volume investigates the extent to which corporate interests and transnational capital dictate the trajectory of United States foreign policy in an era of neoliberal globalization. Edited by Ronald W. Cox, the text compiles research from various scholars to argue that the state has become increasingly subservient to corporate finance and industrial power. By examining specific geopolitical case studies and administrative policies, the contributors provide a framework for understanding how class power and financialization undermine democratic processes on a global scale.
