Rating  - a simple review...
simple concise, informative, accessible, and ultimately positive view of the United States in an ever growing global economy..
Rating  - A decent overview
This is a well written overview of world economies. But it reminded me too much of "The World is Flat" book. Also there is not enough new revelations. I could not finish the book, it did not grab my attention.
Rating - Ok, not amazing
This is an interesting book, especially being written by an Indian-American. But it's honestly just another book that gives us warning that India and China are on the verge of really becoming important players on the world's scene. This is not new information and there's really not that much more in this book that can't be found elsewhere. But it's intelligently written and flows nicely. I also like that there's a lot of history backing up his reasons for saying what he says about India and China. It would've been nice if there was something here that wasn't such a tired refrain at this point.
Rating - A Well Supported Guide to our New, Interdependent World
Because of its title, Fareed Zakaria's The Post-American World may lead readers to believe that this book predicts the decline of the U.S. as a world superpower. But as the author explains early in the book, his intentions are to describe "the rise of the rest" in the global stage. Zakaria's thesis is that we are entering a world order in which there will be many superpowers, not only one. Interestingly, their power will not lie in their military might, but in their economic prowess.
To support his ideas, Zakaria provide us with fascinating and well-researched historical and socioeconomic data on the "new" global players, among them China and India. Using this data and superb critical thinking, he also discusses the challenges that this new global landscape will present for the U.S.
Perhaps not all of Zakaria's world predictions will come to pass, but he certainly makes a strong case to support this new global scenario. This is an important book and a must read for those interested in international affairs and what the role of the U.S. should be in this, our brave new world.
Rating - Great Book!
Great book. I loved it and am passing it on to my friends. It has alot of the same qualities of "The World is Flat", but more of what is happening in China.
