Stimmen zu »Capitalism, Hegemony and Violence in the Age of Drones«
“Capitalism, Hegemony and Violence in the Age of Drones is very different from those masterful scholarly studies of nineteenth century Populism. It is an angry incisive critique of contemporary America’s political-economy, political culture, and imperial foreign policy. … Presents a truly scathing moral indictment of Barrack Obama’s presidency.” (Ronald.W.Edsworth, Socialism and Democracy, Vol. 33 (2), 2019)
