A new intellectual history of U.S. foreign policy from the late nineteenth century to the present

Worldmaking is a compelling new take on the history of American diplomacy. Rather than retelling the story of realism versus idealism, David Milne suggests that U.S. foreign policy has also been crucially divided between those who view statecraft as an art and those who believe it can aspire to the certainty of science.

Worldmaking follows a cast of characters who built on one another's ideas to create the policies we have today. Woodrow Wilson's Universalism and moralism led Sigmund Freud to diagnose him with a messiah complex. Walter Lippmann was a syndicated columnist who commanded the attention of leaders as diverse as Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Charles de Gaulle. Paul Wolfowitz was the intellectual architect of the 2003 invasion of Iraq--and an admirer of Wilson's attempt to "make the world safe for democracy." Each was engaged in a process of worldmaking, formulating strategies that sought to deploy the nation's vast military and economic power--or sought to retrench and focus on domestic issues--to shape a world in which the United States would be best positioned to thrive.

Tracing American statecraft from the age of steam engines to the age of drones, Milne reveals patterns of worldmaking that have remained impervious to the passage of time. The result is a panoramic history of U.S. foreign policy driven by ideas and by the lives and times of their authors.

A Best Macbook…..Excellent performance , light weight, a thin profile, at a very decent price!
Capacity: 16GB Unified Memory | 512GB SSD Storage, Color: Midnight, Set: Without AppleCare+
I’ve owned perhaps 15 Apple laptops over the last 20 years or so. My last two were a Macbook Pro and Air, both with the “M” chip. I sold the Pro because it was too heavy and bulky. It had the M1 PRO chip. My primary last laptop was the Air with an M2 processor. It excelled at everything I needed to do, but, was the base model with 256GB storage and the wifi 6 protocol was for me was not adequate for my 1GB up/down FIOS service. The wifi proved stable, but, slower in speed due to not being wifi 7. I updated to the new Air M5 to get full speeds on wifi 7, a base hard drive capacity that was twice my older model and with hopes, a tad more battery life for each charge. I can state quite accurately that the wifi 7 speeds on this new Macbook Air are far better than my older wifi 6 model. I’m getting an average of 950 mbps up and down with this new Air using a TP-Link BE230 I purchased from Amazon. That’s almost to my plan speed and wireless from a room away from my router. My base Macbook Air M5 is in fact lower in price now as I post this review than the additional $65 in price that I paid for it a short time ago! With Apple improving and increasing it chip speeds for the M series and offering a light, thin and powerful laptop like the Air that’s far lower in price than a PRO model, the Air M5 series are the way to go! I truly believe the Macbook Air will be the winner for the best combination of speed, great price and very adequate performance, for the majority of users! I’ve been a Macbook owner and user for a long while and this latest model is to me, the best one I have owned yet!
