A very long time ago, during the height of the cold war, I remember reading the eye-opening book "Vodka Cola" by Charles Levinson that showed conclusively that while America and Europe were locked in a bitter "cold" war with the Soviet Union, western corporations were locked into all sorts of profitable trade deals with the Russian monster. UNforunately I can't find a .pdf of this book - although it should be out there somewhere.
I later read Charles Higham's Trading With the Enemy" that showed how American corporation continued to trade with Hitler's Germany during WWII -- and realised the cold war trading was simply business as usual. A free .pdf copy of this highly recommended book can be downloaded HERE.
Relevant also to this is Brzezinski's book, The Grand Chessboard, wherein he reveals the true nature of the USA and it's imperial geo-strategy. He adds that "democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization" (page 36), which will explain why democracy is today a shadow play, a farce. The Grand Chessboard can be freely downloaded in .pdf format HERE. For my money it is a must read.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
