AB A study was conducted to explore how the current U.S. imperial project combines an increasingly obvious economic rationale with a more overt nationalist one. Data were obtained from a review of the literature on imperialism and U.S. market partriotism. Findings revealed that, under conditions of a “war on terror,” market patriotism has been mobilized to facilitate the uninterrupted accumulation of profits and provide a framework for the increased collaboration between private companies and government institutions. Findings also revealed that market patriotism has found political expression in the organization of consent for the war on terror, and that the same market patriotism is emerging to provide a broader common-sense framework for the mobilization of public and private apparatuses to “secure the Imperium” at home and overseas. Findings are discussed in detail.
