Link to an interview of Michael Hudson summarizing his essential books Super Imperialism and Trade, Development and Foreign Debt, conducted by Bonnie Faulkner:
“Food Blackmail, the Washington Consensus and Freedom” and
“De-Dollarizing the American Financial Empire”
This interview provides an excellent summary of many of the main points of Hudson’s books. For a latter-day treatment of a portion of these topics, see also The Global Minotaur and “Imperialism in a Coffee Cup.”
