Description

One of our most distinguished thinkers argues that the "rise of the rest" is the great story of our time.

"This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the rest"—the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others—as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems. How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.



Customer reviews for 'The Post-American World'

«Good..even considering the biases»

This is a well thought out and clear exposition. It is high on facts and useful concepts which is, unfortunately, punctuated by some non-sequitor political bashing . .which detracts from the solid material here.

Forgive the author the Newsweek (Newsweak?) political bias but buy it for some very solid observations.

«The Post-American World»

Informative on the world situation (especially economic) today and thought-provoking about the future. It has the broad view usually lackling in media news.

«Solid Perspective»

This book elevated me from the hyper-in-your-face daily news to look down and take a broad perspective on current events. I am impressed with the documentation and the clarity with which it is written. It is hopeful, but very realistic. For those who, like me, are tired of opinion arguing against an opposite opinion, I highly recommend this book. I was so impressed that I took it to our financial adviser, recommending that he read it to understand more of the big picture.
