The Collapse of America Part 1: What History Teaches us About the Rise and Fall of Empires

This week on the Global Research News Hour, as the US has lost in Afghanistan and is not doing so well on the world stage generally, we examine the weakening aspects of its empire and the growing fade in its power as now China seems to threaten to be the next big state on the world stage, and we examine this global shift through a historical lens. Joining us for the bulk of the hour, the historian and educator from Madison-Wisconsin Al McCoy make his debut on the show to discuss these issues at the centre of his brand new book - To Govern The Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.
