A review by suspendedinair
The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria

4.0

this book was a lucid and logical alternative to the many books that talk about how doomed america is. zakaria argues that the sky is NOT falling, rather the place from which we viewit is shifting. in a world where america is no longer the big boss, she will have to find a way of playing fairly with everyone else. zakaria makes excellent points about diplomacy, legitimacy and moving forward in a world where america's power will finally and rightfully be challenged. there's no need to fear a rising china or india (or brazil, or south africa, etc.) in fact we have every reason to embrace them all. (and chill out on the chest thumping.)
