Overview

"Racial radicalism in North America had a major effect on the area during most of the twentieth century. In recent decades, the United States (and Canada) have climbed to the top of the global capitalist hierarchy, resulting in a culture of unparalleled prosperity and consumerism that is incomprehensible to a large portion of the world's population. During the first part of the twentieth century, the United States ascended to the top of the world's financial, military, and imperialist powers rankings. Because of the dominance of American international economic institutions, as well as their military foundations and alliances that spread throughout the world, the United States was able to dominate the global marketplace in the second half of the twentieth century, allowing the United States to maintain its ""informal"" imperial status. When it came to left-wing action, whether in the shape of uprisings or legislative discussions, the power of U.S. imperialism was an essential and pressing consideration. Contrary to the extraordinary accumulation of wealth and power, American capitalism is characterized by the persistent creation of large areas of structural poverty and unemployment for American workers, deep-seated racial divides, environmental destruction throughout all of human history in the pursuit of profit, and marginalization for societies outside of its borders in defense of foreign investments and US interests."
