This book examines the thinking of early twentieth-century US foreign policy makers and their advisors, including business leaders and economists - a group the late Martin J. Sklar calls the 'founders of US foreign policy' - and demonstrates how their concern with worldwide modernization and development shaped the 'American Century' and is represented in conflicts today.

Martin J. Skar (1935-2014) was an American historian best known for originating the concepts of corporate liberalism, the disaccumulation of capital, and the capitalist-socialist mix. His books include The Corporate Reconstruction of American Capitalism, 1890-1916: The Market, the Law and Politics (Cambridge, 1988) and The United States as a Developing Country: Studies in U.S. History in the Progressive Era and the 1920s (Cambridge, 1992). Sklar was the founding editor of several journals and a former Professor of History at Bucknell University.
