If you have an hour, this will be worth it. Kevin Phillips outlines the characteristics of previous declining empires (British, Dutch, Spanish etc.) and the current state of US empire. The similarities are striking. Facisnating stuff.

Warning: This was right before the housing meltdown so some of it sounds a little dated. This man has been on the money in terms of predicting all of the economic problems we're experiencing.
