In this every-other-month presentation, Professor Wolff explains how "old" colonialism ended with World Wars I and II, and how the U.S. inherited and reorganized the profits from that version of colonialism after and since 1945. He also discusses the rise of the Global South, China, and BRICS as economic opposition to the U.S., and Trump's responding proposal to retake Panama, conquer Greenland, Canada, Venezuela, Cuba, and declare them as U.S. colonies.
