Paul Craig Roberts Quotes

The US is not a superpower. The US is a financially dependent country that foreign lenders can close down at will. Washington still hasn’t learned this. American hubris can lead the administration and Congress into a bailout solution that the rest of the world, which has to finance it, might not accept.

• My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it.
