Focusing on the involvement of the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations in U.S. foreign affairs, Parmar traces the transformation of America from an "isolationist" nation into the world's only superpower, all in the name of benevolent stewardship.Parmar begins in the 1920s with the establishment of these foundations and their system of top-down, elitist, scientific giving, which focused more on managing social, political, and economic change than on solving modern society's structural problems. Consulting rare documents and other archival materials, he recounts how the American intellectuals, academics, and policy makers affiliated with these organizations institutionalized such elitism, which then bled into the machinery of U.S. foreign policy and became regarded as the essence of modernity. America hoped to replace Britain in the role of global hegemon and created the necessary political, ideological, military, and institutional capacity to do so, yet far from being objective, the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations often advanced U.S. interests at the expense of other nations. Incorporating case studies of American philanthropy in Nigeria, Chile, and Indonesia, Parmar boldly exposes the knowledge networks underwriting American dominance in the twentieth century. 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327.7300904 686 $aNK 4600$2rvk 700 $aParmar$b Inderjeet$0719759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789906003321 996 $aFoundations of the American century$91397814 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03029oam 2200517I 450 001 9910957955503321 005 20251117085946.0 010 $a1-315-38748-4 010 $a1-315-38750-6 010 $a1-315-38749-2 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315387505 035 $a(CKB)3710000001051279 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4799930 035 $a(OCoLC)980290080 035 $a(BIP)63378213 035 $a(BIP)62407507 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001051279 100 $a20180706e20171985 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe breakdown of capitalism $ea history of the idea in western Marxism, 1883-1983 /$fF.R.

Conclusions. 330 $aThis comprehensive and lucid study, first published in 1985, reconstructs the history of Western Marxist theories of the breakdown of capitalism. It provides a critical reading of theories of breakdown, with their conflicting interpretations of a single text, their invulnerability to empirical defeat, and their retreat from class analysis, as events in the history of ideas. This study traces the sources of theoretical conflict in a series of historical and epistemological issues that shift over time and generate new conditions for speculations concerning the fate of the system. In seeking to understand that durability of the concept of breakdown, the author raises important questions about the social conditions and consequences of theoretical work and the status of critical thought in society. This title will be of interest to students of history and economics. 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aMarxian economics 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aMarxian economics. 676 $a330.1220904 700 $aHansen$b Fay R.$01867188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957955503321 996 $aThe breakdown of capitalism$94474657 997 $aUNINA
