Trudged through the military history and in a very satisfying reveal, this book is about measures and standardisation!!!!! I feel like it’s expanding on beyond measure in this very specific way that is scratching my brain just right.

Plastic really was the key material to developing the US empire, funded and practiced primarily through military expansion,
and we don’t talk about that enough
