Fiery Dragon in Asia and the Pacific

Editors note

We bring to the attention of our readers this essay by Professor Andre Gunder Frank, one of the World's leading and most distinguished political economists.

Frank analyses the relationship between militarisation and the crisis of the US dollar as a World currency.

The essay provides a comprehensive perspective on the evolving New World Order, its structural weaknesses and contradictions.

More importantly, it enables us to understand the economic underpinnings of the Neocons "war on terrorism."

This essay consists of the following parts:

Coup d' État in Washington

Paper Tiger - The United States and the World

Fiery Dragon: China in East Asia
