The Blue Age: How the US Navy Created Global Prosperity–And Why We’re in Danger of Losing It

byGregg Easterbrook

The Blue Age is Gregg Easterbrook's historical account of how the US Navy Created Global Prosperity–And Why We’re in Danger of Losing It. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
