Stephen Wertheim reveals how the United States decided to dominate the world

Posted on

Stephen Wertheim, the Quincy Institute’s Deputy Director of Research and Policy, previews his new book, Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy.

Tomorrow, the World shows how, in the lead-up to Pearl Harbor, U.S. officials and intellectuals made a sudden and unexpected decision to turn their country into the armed global superpower. They haven’t looked back since, but in the 21st century, the costs of primacy are mounting.
