Editorial reviews

“A charismatic and erudite display of a fascinating worldview…less about the when but more interestingly about the why and the how.”
Ryan Faulkner-Hogg, Host of the Curious Worldview Podcast

"This guy may not be American, he's British, but he sure as hell does know a lot about our country.”
Bob Gatty, Host of the Lean to the Left Podcast

America is an imperial superpower – and yet all empires must end. Whether the United States collapses in violence or dissolves more peacefully depends on what its citizens and leaders do today. The present moment has never been more perilous.

Sharply critical yet non-partisan in its analysis, this book addresses the current climate as the country gears up for the 2024 election. It lays out the historical, political, socio-economic and geopolitical reasons why the American Empire might crumble sooner rather than later, with enormous domestic and global consequences, unless action is taken at every level.

Confronted by troubles at home and rivals abroad, America has its work cut out. Its citizens deserve better – better institutions, greater social harmony, more reliable media, cleaner politicians – and the world yearns for more ethical leadership and less risk of catastrophic conflict. The End of the American Empire examines all these topics with bracing honesty and compassionate concern, seeking to generate healthy debate and necessary change.
