Abstract

"Exporting Capitalism: Private Enterprise and U.S. Foreign Policy" by Ethan B. Kapstein examines the role of economic statecraft in the international system, particularly in the competition between the United States and China. Kapstein argues that it was the U.S. government, rather than private business, that drove the policy of mobilizing private business and investment to support national security objectives. The book traces U.S. attempts to export capitalist structures in various regions, highlighting the reliance on foreign direct investment (FDI) and the partnership between the U.S. government and businesses. Kapstein's work provides valuable insights for policymakers and researchers studying the links between development policy, trade, investment, and national security. [Extracted from the article]
