America and the World: Global Disorder in the Twenty-First Century

Ben Mah’s “America and the World” gives the reader a sweeping and impressive tour of the world affairs since WWII. This is a book that anyone who cares about justice and fairness should read. What sets this book apart is not only its panoramic view but, more importantly, the critical perspective the author has maintained throughout the book: it offers a comprehensive critique of the process of globalization as led by the United States. For American political leaders and ordinary citizens alike, Ben Mah’s comprehensive critique comes as most timely and valuable to the forming of a New Deal in the interest not only of the rest of the world, but also very much the United States itself.
