A little over a year ago, Larry Shoup signed a contract with Monthly Review Press to produce a new book on the premier capitalist ruling class organization in the U.S. and the world, the CFR. Although the book is not yet completed, after a year of research and writing, Larry feels that it is time to begin report backs on his findings and conclusions so far. The talk will begin with a portrait of the CFR, its capitalist class basis, recent organizational history, and national and international networks. The Council’s neoliberal and imperialist geopolitical and geoeconomic worldview will then be covered, including a case study of its central role in the war on and occupation of Iraq.
