#1 From one of the books listed:

"...capitalism is entering a terminal crisis, the victim of the insoluble contradictions inscribed in its very nature. The emblem of this dying system, the United States is 'an isolated super-power that has lost all genuine power, a world leader that no one follows any more and that few nations respect.'"

The mind simply reels.
