Book Review: Fareed Zakaria explains America no longer alone as superpower
Fareed Zakaria is a TV talk show who knows the complex world of economics, the Mideast and international politics. His book "The Post-American World, Release 2.0," paints a world where the United States is no longer the sole superpower. Not that superpowers are measured in size of armies but rather in economic sense.
Zakaria writes well and with a tremendous fund of knowledge, and while he paints a grim picture for the USA, he doesn't write the country off.
His formula for surviving in the new world order isn't simple but it is sound and makes a lot more sense than what is going on in Washington, D.C.
This is an updated version of at the earlier work on the same subject, greatly expanded and updated. Don't think the Tea Party folk would read it through as it clearly leaves their aims out in the cold.
You don't have to buy everything he lays out but there's a lot of good thinking here in 314 densely written pages. At the Carson City library's new books section.
