In The Bush Agenda, Antonia Juhasz exposes a radical corporate globalization agenda that has been refined by leading members and allies of the Bush administration over decades and reached its fullest, most aggressive implementation under George W. Bush—and Bush Agenda adherents plan for it to outlast him.
Juhasz uncovers the history and key role of U.S. corporations in the creation of this agenda—focusing on Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, Chevron, and Halliburton—then presents the Iraq War as its most brutal application to date. Expertly revealing the oil timeline driving the war, Juhasz charts exactly how the administration has fundamentally transformed Iraq's economy, locked in sweeping advantages to its corporate allies, and expanded its target to the whole Middle East. The results of these same corporate globalization policies—dislocation, extreme poverty, and increased violence and terrorism—have been demonstrated in regions from South America to Africa to the Middle East and Asia, and in the United States.
Extensively researched and now updated with a new afterword, The Bush Agenda is a brilliant, informative analysis, revealing the hard truths about where the Bush administration and its corporate allies are leading the modern world—and what we can do about it.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is the first book to expose Bush Administration's radical economic agenda for global domination, a plan more extreme, unilateral, and audacious than any of its predecessors, a plan that has created the greatest level of violent opposition to America and Americans in recent history. What is Bush's "free trade"? It's an economic model that argues that by removing restrictions on multinational corporations, these companies will be freed to become engines of economic growth in countries around the world, but in fact bring vast wealth of a small number of global elites while entire populations suffer dislocation, poverty and violence, creating a perfect Petri dish for breeding terrorists. This book addresses the history of U.S. economic relations throughout the world over the past 25 years, the key role of U.S. corporations, and the larger Bush economic agenda and what the potential impact of this agenda will be on the US and the world. Using Naomi Klein's "No Logo" and Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation" as models, "The Bush Agenda" is based on hard analytic fact and presented so that it is not only persuasive, but highly engaging and entertaining to a broad audience. Addresses the history of US economic relations throughout the world over the past several years, the key role of US corporations, and the Bush economic agenda and what would be the potential impact of this agenda on the US and the world.
