Post-American World

“This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.” So begins Fareed Zakaria’s blockbuster on the United States in the twenty-first century, and the trends he identifies have proceeded faster than anyone anticipated. How might the nation continue to thrive in a truly global era? In this fully updated 2.0 edition, Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.

"Compelling." -- Thomas Friedman "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." -- Michiko Kakutani "Zakaria ... may have more intellectual range and insights than any other public thinker in the West." "Prophetic brilliance, near-perfect clarity, and a stirring eloquence."

Fareed Zakaria is the host of CNN’s flagship international affairs show, Fareed Zakaria GPS, as well as weekly columnist for the Washington Post, and the best-selling author of The Post-American World and The Future of Freedom.
