Super Imperialism: The Origin and Fundamentals of U.S. World Dominance
Read the second edition. Hudson's understanding of what happened to the world monetary system in 1968-1973, written by him as it was occurring, is fundamental for anyone wanting to understand how the US empire rules the world as a debtor, what happened to the gold standard, and how reserve currency status ensures empire. One of those classics that has been so cited and incorporated into the theories of others that its probably not necessary to read the whole book, many other people have tried to explain it. However, if you're interested in the original master account of how US empire functions but just want the most pertinent details, you could probably just read the introduction, chapters 11-15, and the epilogue. The rest of the book is a fairly interesting historical account of how allied debts from World War One and Two were used by America to create the new economic system in its favour, how they broke up the British empire and took over its markets, and the initial stages of the Bretton Woods institutions.
