Geopolitics & Empire · Victor Bulmer-Thomas: The U.S. Empire is in Retreat #123

Former Chatham House director Dr. Victor Bulmer-Thomas discusses his book “Empire in Retreat” which explains that the U.S. became an empire from its very inception and how it developed a new form of semi-global empire through institutions which it used to manage the world (e.g. UN & Bretton Woods). He believes the retreat of U.S. Empire is accelerating under the Trump administration due to inherent internal problems such as a declining economy (e.g. crumbling infrastructure, deteriorating quality of education), social inequality, and a consequent growth of anti-exceptionalism and anti-militarism among its own citizenry.
