Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars The Post American World   July 24, 2008
Fantastic read. The author sums up a lot of history in a few pages with insights that opened my mind to what was really happening and what is now happening. Wish all our candidates would read this book.


3 out of 5 stars schizophrenic view of the world   July 24, 2008
Contrary to the title, this book is not about the demise of America. It is about the rise of the rest of the world and its global implications.

The author makes somtimes contradictory statements. For example, he firmly believes that India will economically surpass China mainly because India is a democratic country (democracy is better for long term economic growth he says). His conclusion ignores his own data that India is growing at 6.9% versus China's 9%, the China's economy is about 3 times as large, and there is no indication China is slowing down anytime soon. And he ignores some major long term problems in India, such as its decisively 3rd world literacy rate (around 60%).

The same goes for his purported demise of America. He says that America has too many long term competitive advantages (democracy, top notch universities, market flexibility, willing to accept immigrants, demographic trends etc) to be relegated to anything less than a superpower in the next few decades. So how does that translate into a "Post American World"? America just will not be AS influencial, says the author, since it must share its power with the rest of the world.

It appears the author has trouble coming to a firm conclusion on most subjects except that there is an unprecedented global economic growth.



4 out of 5 stars Good..even considering the biases   July 22, 2008
This is a well thought out and clear exposition. It is high on facts and useful concepts which is, unfortunately, punctuated by some non-sequitor political bashing . .which detracts from the solid material here.

Forgive the author the Newsweek (Newsweak?) political bias but buy it for some very solid observations.



4 out of 5 stars The Post-American World   July 22, 2008
Informative on the world situation (especially economic) today and thought-provoking about the future. It has the broad view usually lackling in media news.


5 out of 5 stars Solid Perspective   July 22, 2008
This book elevated me from the hyper-in-your-face daily news to look down and take a broad perspective on current events. I am impressed with the documentation and the clarity with which it is written. It is hopeful, but very realistic. For those who, like me, are tired of opinion arguing against an opposite opinion, I highly recommend this book. I was so impressed that I took it to our financial adviser, recommending that he read it to understand more of the big picture.
