We conclude our chapter-by-chapter summary and analysis with a deeper look at the so-called "realists" and "economic determinists" covered in "Realist Ideals" and "Economy First." Rounding out the discussion, Gopal's focus on "Annexe" draws out some insights about the extent to which Leo Strauss's political and philosophical work underlie the neoconservative movement that unleashed a torrent of violent regime change actions and permanent wars throughout the Middle East over the last two decades.

Next week, join us for our final discussion on American Foreign Policy and Its Thinkers, a more free-form discussion on the educational value this book offers to activists and writers opposed to American imperialism, as well as the theoretical problems and themes that we identified throughout the text.
