Williams, America Confronts a Revolutionary World (New York, 1976), and Robert Freeman Smith, The United States and Revolutionary Nationalism in Mexico, 1916-1932 (Chicago, 1972), deserve rereading with regard to the 18901930 years. See also Thorstein Veblen, The Theory of the Leisure Class (reprint; Mineola, N.Y., 1994), for a non-Marxist argument about the "predatory" behavior of accumulation, materialism, and prestige. David M. Pletcher, The Diplomacy of Involvement : American Economic Expansion across the Pacific, 1784-1900 (Columbia , Mo., 2001), offers an alternative view with regard to the aggressiveness of U.S. conduct. 9. In my view, the world system's theory of Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein offers the most useful and insightful scholarship for understanding the modern world. 10.
