The Post-American WorldRecommendations
About the book
"This isn't a book about America's demise; it's about the ascent of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's essential new book about the current age.
Following the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes a world in which the US would no longer dominate the global economy, choreograph geopolitics, or overwhelm civilizations with equal foresight. He sees the "rise of the rest"—the development of countries such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, and others—as the grand tale of our time, one that will transform the globe.
Outside of the United States, the world's tallest buildings, largest dams, best-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being constructed. This economic expansion has resulted in increased political confidence, national pride, and the possibility for international issues. In this constantly changing international situation, how should the United States comprehend and thrive? What does it mean to be a true global citizen? Zakaria responds with his usual clarity, insight, and imagination to these concerns.
