Empire 2.0
a modest proposal for a United States of the West
by Régis Debray
"The time has come for Europe to join the U.S. in a single transatlantic union - the United States of the West. That's the modest proposal advanced in Empire 2.0, a savage and gleeful reductio ad absurdum of the once popular phrase, "We are all Americans." The advantages for America? An expanded tax base, enthusiastic new recruits of good European stock ready for the necessary work of "pacification" on the imperial frontier, and, not least, cultural legitimacy. (No longer will globalization be synonymous with Americanization - not when one can export Big Mac + Chateaubriand, Disneyland + the Louvre.) Upside for Europe? As citizens of newly-admitted states in the larger US of W, hitherto politically impotent Europeans will be able to vote in the only elections that really matter."--BOOK JACKET.
