Kevin Phillips’ American Theocracy: The Perils and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century is a stunning political and intellectual achievement. In several respects it is courageous; given that Kevin Phillips almost thirty-five years ago began his career as a Republican strategist. It is not without flaws, especially in Phillips’ understanding of race, slavery and colonialism in the creation of capitalism and the role they play in its current crises. These matters will be dealt with later in this essay. Put succinctly, however, this book is an examination of late American capitalism. /

The basic thesis of the book is that America is in the throes of several converging crises: a crisis of ideology, manifested in the rise of Christian and, to a lesser extent, Jewish fundamentalism, and their becoming a significant part of the ideology of the state and the Republican Party; a crisis of oil dependency, which is deepened as the world’s supply of oil peaks; and a crisis of debt, manifested in historically unprecedented levels of private, business, government and foreign indebtedness. Phillips argues that the George W. Bush presidency is at the center of these converging crises. It is entangled in oil and debt capitalism and is deeply implicated in the rightwing Evangelical ideological movement. Due to these entanglements it can only deepen these crises. Phillips does not suggest that a Hillary Clinton or John Kerry presidency would make a significant difference. He argues that the GOP government in Washington is a southern-dominated, biblically driven rogue coalition, like the southern slavocracy before Lincoln’s election. /
