Peace Economist Bob Reuschlein on Truth Jihad Radio Tonight

Bob Reuschlein of http://www.realeconomy.com and I will be discussing the subject of his latest academic paper -- the signs of the decline of empire. Bob is a pioneering peace economist who has shown how military spending and imperial expansion destroy economies. The economic rot is accompanied by social breakdown, and his latest paper is about the "social breakdown indicators" that are escalating even as we speak. One of the leading indicators, in my opinion, is the neoconservatives' over-compensation for imperial decline by way of advocating even more of the war and fascism that got us into this mess. The extreme example is Philip Atkinson's call for Bush to commit genocide and declare himself president for life and emperor of earth: http://www.mujca.com/atkinson.htm
