"Zakaria...is judicious, reasonable, smooth, intelligent, and a little glib...." "A sharp, well-written work of political economy." "[A] stimulating, largely optimistic forecast of where the 21st century is heading....A lucid, thought-provoking appraisal of world affairs...." "...Mr. Zakaria uses his wide-ranging fluency in economics, foreign policy and cultural politics to give the lay reader a lucid picture of a globalized world (and America’s role in it) that is changing at light speed, even as he provides a host of historical analogies to examine the possible fallout of these changes....[A] provocative and often shrewd take that opens a big picture window on the closing of the first American century and the advent of a new world in which 'the rest rise, and the West wanes.'" First lineThis is a book not about the decline of America but rather the rise of everything else. Publisher's noteThe author of The Future of Freedom makes predictions about what he believes is a world in which a rapid rise of such nations as China, India, and Brazil is countering America's previous dominance over the global economy, geopolitics, and culture, in an account that shares advice on how the United States can understand and thrive in the face of rapid international changes. Simultaneous. AnnotationNoted commentator Fareed Zakaria issues a major statement about the a new world order, in which the United States plays a leading role, but not the dominating role that many American have been used to. Global growth has brought robust economic activity around the world, and he notes the rise of India, China, and other countries. Zakaria tells how and why this happened and where it can lead, taking the time to provide enough historical background to explain current events. Writing from his own perspective, and drawing on his experiences, Zakaria remains an enthusiastic booster of the American way, and is sanguine about the ability of America to adapt to a changing world.
