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.
