The Post American World And The Rise Of The Rest (The International Bestseller)(Paperback)

This book is probably the most timely book on world economics and political dynamics that you can find. It updates a lot of old statistics and misconceptions all while leaving a really nice taste in your mouth for whats to come. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to know what's behind the goings-on in the world. Despite the title Zakaria continues to remind the reader that America still plays a vital role in the world and where the United States is able to have the largest impact. Zakaria has definitly done his research on culture, history, politics, economics, trade as well as a multitude of other important topics. He throws in a bit of humor along the way, but you really get a feel this is probably the smartest guy you've ever had the privilege of reading. very enjoyable for the material it's tackling.
