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.
