The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire — State Power and Global Markets

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire by Sam Gindin and Leo Panitch as a systems-level analysis of how American state institutions structure and manage global capitalism. By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated crises, the episode shows why global financial governance persists — and how Treasury coordination, Federal Reserve authority, and international institutions remain central to economic stability and geopolitical influence. 📺 Watch on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/IWZsty7jPeI ❤️ Support on Patreon: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/making-of-global-151972780?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Author Support If these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
