Author: Phillips, Kevin

Kevin Phillips points to Britain's post-WWI involvement in the Middle East as an analogy to Iraq. On radicalized religion, he warns of "the pitfalls of imperial Christian overreach from Rome to Britain." he observes that the major measures of U.S. debtùfrom national to householdùkeep setting records. He warns that the real estate boom spurred by the Federal Reserve cannot continue. Of the religious-right he says, "The rapture, end-times, and Armageddon hucksters in the United States rank with any Shiite ayatollahs."
