Who Rules the World? (American Empire Project)

Eye opening book. It helped me understand the current state of the world and how the US policies has shaped the mess we live through right now.

A was expecting more about who rules the world, how decisions are taken and by who. What's the role of IMF and lobbyist groups. But the book talks almost entirely about how imperialist and violent are the USA and israel. Which is true btw, but the book title is misleading imo.

If you wish to know why the world is enmeshed in armed conflict, read this book. It is somewhat repetitive, but gives you the evidence behind the fact that the majority of humans on earth view the United States as the greatest threat to peace in the world today.

Vivimos en un sistema que al correr libre, va donde le permitimos y como se han apoderado de el los políticos y los empresarios de Grandes consorcios, pues nos tienen atrapados a su antojo.Y además percibo que a la mayoría de la gente le gusta emular a los ricos y por tanto vivimos queriendo ser quien no somos y no podemos ser.Ojalá que nos demos cuenta que ser auténticos y más espirituales y solidarios, resultaría en un Mundo muchísimo mejor.Basta con ver como es posible que una persona como Trump, pueda marear a tanta gente y salirse con la suya, cuando tiene una mente terriblemente limitada y un Alma terriblemente pequeña...

So detailed, so sensible, so widely ignored. It's insanity to keep doing something stupidly, vilely destructive again and again while hoping each time that this time it will end differently. The people have been forced to become spectators of, not participants in decisions that affect us all. Surely something must change?
