| Why it’s on the list | Fareed Zakaria’s argument that the story of the early twenty-first century is not American decline but “the rise of the rest” — China, India, Brazil and others growing into real weight, power diffusing away from any single centre — and that the United States should stop behaving as the sole pole and start convening a system it no longer dictates. |
The Post-American World
Where I heard about it
- Li Lu — on Li Lu’s Recommended Book List, in its final section, Biography and Others, as the entry that states the multipolar condition the rest of the list is read under. He cites W. W. Norton, 2008.
About this edition
Zakaria argues the U.S. retains structural advantages in universities, immigration and adaptability that its politics is squandering. The card tracks the Norton first edition; a revised “Release 2.0” followed in 2011.
Connections
