The Post-American World: And the Rise of the Rest

Zakaria . . . may have more intellectual range and insights than any other public thinker in the West. ?Boston Sunday Globe "This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's bestseller on the United States in the twenty-first century. How can Americans understand this international climate, and how might the nation continue to thrive in a global era? Zakaria answers with lucidity, insight, and imagination. The book describes a world where the US no longer dominates globally and highlights the rise of countries like China, India, Brazil, and Russia as the defining story of our time.
