The Post American World by Fareed Zakaria (2008, Hardcover)

My book club is reading this book this month. I found it very readable and interesting. The only out-of-date part is that Zakaria talks about the basic strength of the U.S. economy....he obviously wrote this prior to our financial disasters. He is so knowledgable about the world with a view of someone who did not grow up in America but is obviously devoted to her democratic ideals. It's an easy read and I feel much more informed now about "the rise of the rest."

Awesome condition it came as if new and it also came with no marks or writings, it was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great read, Zakaria hits the nail on the head. All americans should read this, so that they are aware of where we are headed.

Great book. Well written and easy to understand. No kind of anti-Americanism, more of a rise of other countries rather than the fall of America. Goes into good detail and presents data that allows you to decide for yourself. One of the good books I've read.

Using his broad grasp of complex international subject matter, Mr Zakaria provides both insight and a warnings that all of our political leaders should heed. Mr. Zakaria clearly points out that the time for multi-lateral decision making is clearly upon us and identifies the outcomes if this path is not taken. While clearly pointing to blunders in international policy implemented by various administrations - this is not another exercise in finger pointing. Instead Mr. Zakaria identifies economic, technological and political areas where America can regain some of it's lost standing and respect in these complex and turbulent times. A book that contains strong warnings and hope for America and the world.

I like that the book was new & arrived right on time of father's day. Great Seller and a great ebayer at the same time.

I have been impressed with the writing of Fareed Zakaria in Newsweek for many years, but wanted to share that this book provides so much to those interested in the coming decades and what role the US will play in the future.

Zakaria has an amazing way of breaking down complex issues for the reader and making them very easy to relate to and understand.

Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with his first book, The Future of Freedom, but would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

It's just too bad Zakaria can't be the US President...as his understanding of the world stage and ideas on how to revive the US's image around the world are unprecedented.

This book was a really easy read considering that it was mainly a histroy lesson on world economics. i enjoyed his perspective and suggestions.
