With his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination, he draws on lessons from the two great power shifts of the past 500 years―the rise of the Western world and the rise of the United States―to tell us what we can expect from the third shift, the “rise of the rest.” The great challenge for Britain was economic decline. In this new edition, Zakaria makes sense of this rapidly changing landscape. Meanwhile emerging markets have surged ahead, coupling their economic growth with pride, nationalism, and a determination to shape their own future. The 2008 financial crisis turned the world upside down, stalling the United States and other advanced economies. Since its publication, the trends he identified have proceeded faster than anyone could have anticipated. Fareed Zakaria’s international bestseller The Post-American World pointed to the “rise of the rest”―the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, and others―as the great story of our time, the story that will undoubtedly shape the future of global power. The New York Times bestseller, revised and expanded with a new afterword: the essential update of Fareed Zakaria's international bestseller about America and its shifting position in world affairs.
