Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy

This firey monograph shows a side of Murray Rothbard not seen in his theoretical treatise: his ability to employ "power elite" analysis to understand the relationship between money, power, and war.

Rather than allow the left to dominate this approach to history, Rothbard shows how wealthy elites are only able to manipulate world affairs via their connection to state power. Those mainstream historians might deride Rothbard's history as a "conspiracy" approach, Rothbard himself is only out to show that world affairs are not random historical forces but the consequence of choices and paths chosen by real human beings.

The contents of this volume include:

• Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy
• Appendix I: The Treaty that Wall Street Wrote
• Appendix II: Who's Who for the Canal Treaty
