This is a walk through the twentieth century, and how the United States became, by design, a combination military, industrial, and financial global superpower.  And how the US dollar hegemony was created over a number of political administrations by groups of well connected, powerful families and friends.


Its a bit long, and Nomi speaks briskly with many fact laden vignettes and scenarios. I am reasonably familiar with this subject from about 1905 through 1950. She did a nice job summarizing things, leaving out a few details I would have like to have seen included, but that is the nature of describing such a vast sweep of history in a short period of time.


The facts she brings out about the 50's onwards were sometimes new to me, and absolutely fascinating.

About minute 40 she shows the culmination of this historical process with the Clinton Whitehouse, and begins to describe where we are today, and how it appears that the problem will be insoluble without some major events taking place to change this alliance in power between the financial and the political.
 I strongly recommend that you give is a listen. Or if you have the time to invest, you may wish to read her book which also sounds very interesting.
