Re: US EMpire Better than Alternative - Huh?

Greetings Economists,
The costs of empires is high.  One asks why Britain came down?  Projecting military power around the world is costly.  Community based resistance which arms itself with current weapons can't be militarily defeated unless the empire adopts scorched earth techniques.  Which are counter productive to empire anyway.  A center is not well defined, because a global system is built piece meal.  The units do not represent equal systemic functions.  Keeps the U.S. from addressing systemic issues like global warming because of commitments to a system unable to globalize systemic problems.  And so on.

For you teachers out there, how do you pedagogically deal with this in the classroom?  Any thoughts?
