Bush—and Bush Agenda adherents plan for it to outlast him. Juhasz uncovers the history and key role of U.S. corporations in the creation of this agenda—focusing on Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, Chevron, and Halliburton—then presents the Iraq War as its most brutal application to date. Expertly revealing the oil timeline driving the war, Juhasz charts exactly how the administration has fundamentally transformed Iraq's economy, locked in sweeping advantages to its corporate allies, and expanded its target to the whole Middle East. The results of these same corporate globalization policies—dislocation, extreme poverty, and increased violence and terrorism—have been demonstrated in regions from South America to Africa to the Middle East and Asia, and in the United States. Extensively researched and now updated with a new afterword, The Bush Agenda is a brilliant, informative analysis, revealing the hard truths about where the Bush administration and its corporate allies are leading the modern world—and what we can do about it.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780061977619","publication_date":"20091006","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"the-bush-agenda","subtitle":"Invading the World, One Economy at a Time","title":"The Bush Agenda"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POL011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7872,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.7857,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Diplomacy","score":0.7694,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POL011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7872,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.7857,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Diplomacy","score":0.7694,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BUS069000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Economics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS079000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Business and Government","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS109000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Women in Business","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS113000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Globalization","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"PHI019000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Political Philosophy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL001000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Arms Control & Security","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Diplomacy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL011020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7872,"slug":"trade-tariffs"},{"label":"World Politics","score":0.7857,"slug":"world-politics"},{"label":"Diplomacy","score":0.7694,"slug":"diplomacy"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in corporate globalization and U.S. policy","Readers studying the Iraq War's economic effects"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt"],"book_id":"9781503627918","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781503627918.jpg?v=f443070025e6397b","score":0.6786,"title":"The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781503627918"},{"authors":["Robert Draper"],"book_id":"9780525561064","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780525561064.jpg?v=20d3e5f1a943c852","score":0.6772,"title":"To Start a War","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780525561064"},{"authors":["Dennis Fritz"],"book_id":"9781682194379","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682194379.jpg?v=7413eafd22012629","score":0.6733,"title":"Deadly Betrayal","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682194379"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:political science"],"label":"Science","score":0.1776,"slug":"science"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:political books"],"label":"Political","score":0.0493,"slug":"political"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:business"],"label":"Business","score":0.0401,"slug":"business"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:politics"],"label":"Politics","score":0.0364,"slug":"politics"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:philosophy books"],"label":"Philosophy","score":0.0334,"slug":"philosophy"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Corporate influence on policy, Iraq War and economic restructuring, Globalization's social impacts.","Themes: Science, Political, Business.","Reading lane: Trade & Tariffs and World Politics."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.93,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in corporate globalization and U.S. policy","Readers studying the Iraq War's economic effects"],"themes":["Corporate influence on policy","Iraq War and economic restructuring","Globalization's social impacts"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":6,"goodreads_ratings_count":68,"goodreads_reviews_count":9,"quality_score":0.8643}}
