Decline of American Power?

[John Mage]

Both Yoshie and Alexandre might find the critique of Wallerstein/WST on
this question by Peter Gowan interesting:

CONTEMPORARY INTRA-CORE RELATIONS AND WORLD SYSTEMS THEORY
http://www.unl.ac.uk/ukrainecentre/WSS/ws-9.html

The paper was written (I believe) before the multistaged bubbleburst
we're watching now, at a time when the discordance between US economic
strength and its elite's aspiration for world domination seemed less
acute. Nonetheless, I think it is the best thing out there.
