A Strategic Economic Assessment:
THAT DOOMED & BRUTISH EMPIRE
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
February 19, 2008
Whatever happens otherwise, if the United Kingdom continues its present course, Britain's imperial design (1763-2008) is now soon doomed to a very early and ugly end. All that remains in doubt on this account, is, whether or not the disintegration of the British empire will carry the rest of European civilization down with it, down into a prolonged, planetary-wide dark age, down forever from the Britain of Lord Shelburne which aspired to become a permanent successor to the failed Roman Empire. Thus, Britain's only chance of surviving, not as an empire, but as a mere nation, would be to choose to accept the defeat of Shelburne's imperial dreams, as it should have accepted this fate no later than the close of World War II: a defeat of its present imperial commitment to a suppression of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.

The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism, by Stanislav M. Menshikov
March 23, 2007
—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

Feature

A Strategic Economic Assessment:
That Doomed & Brutish Empire
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

'Whatever happens otherwise, if the United Kingdom continues its present course, Britain's imperial design (1763-2008) is now soon doomed to a very early and ugly end. All that remains in doubt on this account, is, whether or not the disintegration of the British empire will carry the rest of European civilization down with it, down into a prolonged, planetary-wide dark age, down forever from the Britain of Lord Shelburne which aspired itself to become a permanent successor to the failed Roman Empire.'
But what about the rest of us? We don't have to go down with that empire, provided we cut free from its cultural embrace. LaRouche discusses the science and epistemology of how such a break with British Liberalism is to be achieved.
