 pm\n\nConsensus and Conflict\nIraq and Ukraine as Examples of Capitalist 
 Class Neoliberal Geopolitical Grand Strategy\n\nMuch of U.S. foreign policy 
 is based upon two grand strategic conceptions developed behind the scenes 
 by key capitalist class institutions, especially Wall Street’s think 
 tank, the Council on Foreign Relations. These two conceptions are free 
 market capitalist fundamentalism, often called  “neoliberalism” and 
 geopolitics, global power politics. This talk will focus on how the 
 capitalist class and its professional class allies have applied these two 
 concepts to their foreign policy toward Iraq in 2003 and Ukraine in 2014. 
 The differences and similarities between these two examples will help 
 deepen our understanding of how and why U.S. foreign policy is what it is 
 today. Speaker will be Dr. Laurence H. Shoup, author of the forthcoming 
 book from Monthly Review Press: Wall Street’s Think Tank: The Council on 
 Foreign Relations and the Empire of Neoliberal Geopolitics
