Where Goes America?

Looking for an interesting summer read?

Concerned about America's place in the global society?

Look no further!

The New York Times has not just ONE (A Challenge for the US: Sun Rising in the East), but TWO (The New World) reviews of this important new book:

The Post American World, By Fareed Zakaria, 292 pages. W. W. Norton & Company. $25.95

In his book, Mr. Zakaria writes that America remains a politico-military superpower, but “in every other dimension — industrial, financial, educational, social, cultural — the distribution of power is shifting, moving away from American dominance.” With the rise of China, India and other emerging markets, with economic growth sweeping much of the planet, and the world becoming increasingly decentralized and interconnected, he contends, “we are moving into a post-American world, one defined and directed from many places and by many people.”

America's future: Good or bad? Up or down? You be the judge of this book which is being discussed in boardrooms and backyards all over the globe.

If it does nothing else, it will get you thinking about America's place in the world order over coming decades.

Highly recommended!
