Book Description
"This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the rest"—the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others—as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems. How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. When a book proclaims that it is not about the decline of America but the rise of everyone else, readers might expect another diatribe about our dismal post-9/11 world. They are in for a pleasant surprise as Newsweek editor and popular pundit Zakaria (The Future of Freedom) delivers a stimulating, largely optimistic forecast of where the 21st century is heading. We are living in a peaceful era, he maintains; world violence peaked around 1990 and has plummeted to a record low. Burgeoning prosperity has spread to the developing world, raising standards of living in Brazil, India, China and Indonesia. Twenty years ago China discarded Soviet economics but not its politics, leading to a wildly effective, top-down, scorched-earth boom. Its political antithesis, India, also prospers while remaining a chaotic, inefficient democracy, as Indian elected officials are (generally) loathe to use the brutally efficient tactics that are the staple of Chinese governance. Paradoxically, India's greatest asset is its relative stability in the region; its officials take an unruly population for granted, while dissent produces paranoia in Chinese leaders. Zakaria predicts that despite its record of recent blunders at home and abroad, America will stay strong, buoyed by a stellar educational system and the influx of young immigrants, who give the U.S. a more youthful demographic than Europe and much of Asia whose workers support an increasing population of unproductive elderly. A lucid, thought-provoking appraisal of world affairs, this book will engage readers on both sides of the political spectrum. (May)

今天没事对比了一下英文原版和中文版,发现中文版第一章 风云变幻的世界在英文原版中根本找不到,不知这一部分内容是出版社自行组织人员编写的还是怎么样搞出来。
評分《后美国世界》的流行,是因为一张奥巴马在竞选途中手拿这本书的照片。但对中国读者最大的意义,则是这本书提供了一个看待全球变革的美国视角。 1.过去500年来,世界范围内已经发生了3次结构性的权力转移。每一次权力转移都是权力分配的根本性调整,都重塑了国际政治、经济和文...

評分虽然书名似乎在谈论美国,其实内容完全是在分析中国的崛起所会给世界带来的影响,作者立场还算中立,分析也较为中肯,确实我们还没到可以松口气的程度,美国的人均GDP还是我们的25倍,我们的下一代是完全出生在安定繁荣的时代,他们对解放初期的切肤之痛更没有实质性的体会,他...
