Professor Anthony G. Hopkins (Emeritus Smuts Professor of Commonwealth History at the University of Cambridge and former Walter Prescott Webb Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin) discusses his new book American Empire. Spanning three centuries and multiple continents, Hopkins compares economic development in the U.S. to that of Western Europe, with implications for our understandings of empire and imperialism, colonization and decolonization, and American exceptionalism.
