Opposing the Crusader State: Alternatives to Global Interventionism - Softcover
Broken into four sections, this book illustrates the history of American foreign policy and demonstrates the current applicability of a non-interventionist model. For the past century, U.S. foreign policy has rested on the assumption that Americans' interests are best served by active intervention abroad to secure markets for U.S. exports, to combat potential enemies far from American shores, or to engage in democratic nation building. Earlier, however, non-interventionism was widely considered more desirable and more consistent with the principles of the American Revolution. The authors argue for a return to these original American mores.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. As new unread trade paperback review copy with publicity material laid in, as well as a typed letter signed by Independent Institute Founder & President David J. Theroux. Number line complete 1 2 3 4 5. "Regardless for the motivation for America's global hegemony," the editors observe, "the abandonment of the nonintervention principle has imposed large costs on Americans in terms of constitutional integrity, domestic tranquility, and economic progress." The transfer of the de factor war-making power from Congress to the president is "especially troubling," they argue, since "presidents have often invoked exaggerations or falsehoods about national security threats to bring the country into war." Includes essays by Sheldon Richman; Ralph Raico; Ted Galen Carpenter; Michael T. Hayes on "The Republican Road Not Taken: The Foreign Policy Vision of Robert A. Taft"; James L. Payne asking "Does Nation Building Work?" (the answer appears to be in the negative), and Edward P. Stringham on "Commerce, Markets, and Peace: Richard Cobden's Enduring Lessons." 291 pp. including index. Reduced from $18. Seller Inventory # 004183
