TRUMP'S NAKED IMPERIALISM

MATT KENNARD is an investigative journalist and the author of The Racket. First published in 2015 and now in a second edition, Kennard spent some four years probing the activities of the business and political elite who run the world.

Author and activist Naomi Klein says of The Racket: 'In this important book, Kennard explores the direct impacts of militarised, globalised American capitalism on some of the most battered parts of our world. With devastating precision and a formidable sense of urgency, he reports on corporate shock doctors in Haiti, imperialist drug warriors in Honduras, pillaging coal and mining giants in Southern Africa and Appalachia—and so much more. Most importantly, he never loses sight of the growing numbers of resistors holding on to their creativity and self-determination in the face of these forces.'

Abby Martin of the Empire Files talks with Matt Kennard about the machinations of US Empire under Trump, and how the British Empire never died but simply tethered itself to the United States.
