If you want a fun quick read, pick up George Friedman's The Next 100 years

Amazon.com: The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century (9780385517058): George Friedman: Books

He talks about how US domination of the oceans is an unwritten cornerstone of our policy to command the global economy.

RIJIMMY wouldn't like the book. It paints a quite positive vision of the future that conflicts with his dark and pessimistic outlook of what America's full potential really is.
