"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 othersas 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.
You’re quick, Diogenesis.
You are appreciated. Thanks for all you do on FR.
For the 2012 election, I'm voting for the candidate you see carrying this book.
Reminds me of the line from “Rob Roy”
“It’s bad enough that it might be so without you wishing it.”
......and Ogabe is doing everything in his power to diminish/corrupt America’s influence throughout the world.
"Obama Obama shifts FBI from Counter Terrorism to Fraud"
Author is Fareed Zakaria, IOW, another proverbial Sears catalog.
