This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else. After this opening reassurance, Newsweek International editor Fareed Zakaria invites us into the "Post-American World" in this updated, revised, expanded edition of his 2008 top-seller. He describes how the growth of countries like China, India, Russia, Brazil, and many others has changed the world in which we American live. No longer will the United States be able to dominate the global economy, orchestrate international geopolitics, or confidently dictate to other nations. But this evolving situation, according to Zakaria, need not be disastrous. He explains how America and Americans can continue to thrive in a post-American world. A generally upbeat assessment of our ever-changing situation.

Rather than jumping on the hero-worship bandwagon as so many others are doing (Dreams From My Father is at the top of all the bestseller lists now), I'm going to read this. I just heard an interview on CBC radio with the author, editor of Ne...
Very interesting book about the rise of the rest of the world. The US is no longer the "best" in a lot of categories and as time goes by, we will probably fall further and further behind if we keep on the same track we have been on. Would recommend this one!
