An "elegant and courageous" analysis of why more than half of the world's population is becoming increasingly alienated from America (Washington Post Book World)

In Beyond the Age of Innocence Kishore Mahbubani, a leading Asian diplomat, reveals to us the America that Asia and the rest of the world see. We are a country that has given hope to billions by creating a society where destiny is not determined at birth. But we have become indifferent to the consequences of our decisions on others. Global financial institutions have been used to advance American interests, not global interests. America has been imprudent in its policy toward two large masses of mankind: the Chinese and Muslim populations.

To allow any lasting gap between America and the world, Mahbubani argues, would be a colossal strategic mistake for America and a huge loss to the world. But there is still time for the U.S. to change course, and in this thought-provoking and visionary book Mahbubani shows us how.
