Should America stop trying to rule the world?

With China on the rise, has the American Century’s time run out? Daniel Bessner is Joff Hanauer Honors Associate Professor in Western Civilization in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. He joins guest host Courtney Collins to talk about if the U.S. should continue to try to rule the world through force – or if recent history suggests it’s time to back off. His article published in Harper’s Magazine is called “Empire Burlesque.”
