Vijay Prashad joins the show to discuss a new publication from the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Global South Insight. “Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage,” argues that the era of the U.S. Empire’s total economic and political reign over the world order has entered a new stage; one marked by Western decline, emergent Global South nations, and a Global North that can only over-extend itself militarily to cling to power but has no vision to offer the world’s people. Vijay Prashad is the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
