The author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The
Next 100 Years now focuses his geopolitical forecasting
acumen on the next decade and the imminent events and
challenges that will test America and the world,
specifically addressing the skills that will be required by
the decade’s leaders. The next ten years will be a time of massive transition. The
wars in the Islamic world will be subsiding, and terrorism
will become something we learn to live with. China will be
encountering its crisis. We will be moving from a time when
financial crises dominate the world to a time when labor
shortages will begin to dominate. The new century will be
taking shape in the next decade. In The Next Decade, George Friedman offers readers a
provocative and endlessly fascinating prognosis for the
immediate future. Using Machiavelli’s The Prince as a
model, Friedman focuses on the world’s leaders—particularly
the American president—and with his trusted geopolitical
insight analyzes the complex chess game they will all have
to play. The book also asks how to be a good president in a
decade of extraordinary challenge, and puts the world’s
leaders under a microscope to explain how they will arrive
at the decisions they will make—and the consequences these
actions will have for us all.
