Book Presentation: The Case for Goliath by Michael Mandelbaum
Book Abstract
Many have called America an empire and many have also criticized the ostensibly “imperial” way in which the nation uses its power. In The Case for Goliath, Michael Mandelbaum takes this thinking to task. He explains that the United States uses its enormous power not as an empire, but to provide the world with the services of a government. The role it plays, he asserts, is, on balance, positive, and is performed with the tacit consent of many of the nation’s critics.
Mandelbaum describes the contributions that American power makes to global security and he identifies the many American contributions to global prosperity. He also examines the dangers to the health of the international economy posed by U.S. The Case for Goliath analyzes the ways in which other countries have come to accept, resent and exert influence on America’s global role and it assesses the uncertain prospects for sharing the burden of global governance more widely.

Summary of The Case for Goliath (Michael Mandelbaum)
The World’s Government
“Empire” is the appellation often applied to America today. Unlike the hubris and commercial advantages that drove imperial conquest in the past, America’s current leadership role is the result of its robust and highly productive economy and immense military power. In the main, America has very little in common with traditional empires. It has not sought to subjugate other countries. America does not control, directly or indirectly, other countries’ economies or political systems as it attempts to disengage from countries that it enters as rapidly as possible.
