[b]Conversations with History - May 7, 2007: The Last Days of the American Republic with Chalmers Johnson[/b]

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Chalmers Johnson for a discussion of his new book, Nemesis. In the interview, Johnson, an Emeritus Professor of the University of California, analyzes the impact of the American empire on democracy at home.

Comparing the United States to Rome and Great Britain, he argues that a combination of military Keynesianism, the Bush administration\'s attempt to implement a unitary presidency, and the failed checks on executive ambition point to political and economic bankruptcy.
