On finance, real estate and the powers of neoliberalism
Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff dissect the United States’ new National Security Strategy, arguing that America’s pursuit of security through global control is accelerating de dollarisation, fragmenting Europe, and exposing the contradictions of finance capitalism in a multipolar world.

This analysis examines EU energy policy, frozen Russian assets, deindustrialisation, and growing dependence on the United States, with insights from economists Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff on why Europe’s current trajectory is economically unsustainable.
