In this 5th dialogue on India & Global Left, Professors Richard Wolff and Prabhat Patnaik join me to examine one of the biggest questions of our time: Is the U.S. empire really in decline? We discuss the nature, scale, and pace of America’s weakening global position, the rise of China and the Global South, and whether a truly multilateral world is emerging—or simply a new great power rivalry.
