Review

"...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.'"

"This is a relentlessly intelligent book that eschews simple-minded projections from crisis to collapse."

"[A] stimulating, largely optimistic forecast of where the 21st century is heading....A lucid, thought-provoking appraisal of world affairs...."

"A sharp, well-written work of political economy."

"Zakaria...is judicious, reasonable, smooth, intelligent, and a little glib...."

First line

This is a book not about the decline of America but rather the rise of everything else.

Annotation

Noted 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. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

One of our most distinguished thinkers argues that the "rise of the rest" is the great story of our time.
"This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling "The Future of Freedom," Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the rest"--the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others--as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems. How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.
