Abstract:
We address the debate on the possible decline
of the U.S. empire, which developed above all
during the 1990s, by looking at the analyses
of a series of critical and pro-United States
authors, during a conjuncture in which the
economy of that country was experiencing
short cycles of growth and increasingly long
crises. The current crisis of capitalism goes
beyond its financial aspects and the spending
that is occurring in order to overcome it is
astronomical and is occurring in a very short
span of time. In this context, the symbiosis
between U.S. hegemony and transnational
capitalism demonstrates that the crisis of one is
inseparable from the crisis of the other.
Keywords: Hegemony. Imperialism.
Transnationalism.
