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.
