Hope this isn't a dupe - I couldn't find it on a search. I got this via email.
The title is "The Post-American World", written by a muslim. Post-American, as in the world after America? |

"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.
It doesn't sound like a bad read

It doesn't sound like a bad read +1 A LOT of people on ARFCOM seem to be worried that "Yellow Peril is coming"  and that China's growing economy will eventually make them a super-power and a huge threat to a US that may be less able to deal with it.
Sounds like Obama is reading the kind of book that many on ARFCOM might want to read themselves. If McCain were reading it, many might applaud him for wanting to be prepared and educated about a growing threat.
Also, I thought the guy who wrote it was Indian, and don't think he's muslim (although I guess he could be).

Post-American, as in the world after America's total economic, military, and cultural dominance Zakaria is a very smart man and I'd imagine this book is a good and informative read. Also, Zakaria himself has said he is not a religious person so that Muslim comment is irrelevant. |

Good book by a very saavy and insightful man. who ever made that macro without even looking for a synopsis of that book is a moron.
if you are offended by that picture. please punch yourself in the face and refrain from posting. you are bringing down the collective IQ of arfcom. |
