🇺🇸 💵 📖 **Forsyth on Bridges, 'Dollars and Dominion: US Bankers and the Making of a Superpower'**

“_The author writes that by focusing on finance she is analyzing the infrastructure of America’s global expansion. Territorial expansion, beginning with the Spanish-American War, meant that the American state required an infrastructure of payments and finance, and so did American business as it internationalized. The decisive events in this narrative include the Spanish-American War, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, World War I, the recession of 1920-21, and the Great Depression._”
