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

4.0

I would love to read a revision updated to include data from the current economic situation and see if there are changes to the author's perspective. For example, he talks about a debt load of 4% of GDP as unhealthy. Would his statement change if it were written during a recession, when 10% debts encourage quicker recovery and protect against double dips? Has American standing improved in the world in its reaction to the world economic slump? This is a great book. I wish I'd read it in 2007 though.
