Inderjeet Parmar reveals the complex interrelations, shared mindsets, and collaborative efforts of influential public and private organizations in the building of American hegemony. Focusing on the involvement of the Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller foundations in U.S. foreign affairs, he traces the transformation of America from an "isolationist" nation into the world's sole superpower, all in the name of benevolent stewardship.
