Obama's Reading Post American World Book
- Thread starter Tommy Gun
- Start date
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.

A book mark would make a great gift idea. I mean, if you buy gifts for socialists who are hell bent on destroying our system. 
He sure looks cool in those sunglasses.

I'm no fan of Obama. And, as most of you know, I believe the political system is nothing more than a great drama shown on TV.
As for him reading this book, I think that any intelligent human being should read EVERYTHING they can get their hands on so that you have as much information as possible.

He has paid lackeys for that...didn't you ever see Three Days of the Condor?
Coincidence...perhaps; part of a bigger picture..perhaps; can we really afford to take that kind of a chance with our President? Just sayin'. Connect the dots...read the Chicago thread.

He sure looks cool though. Like a cross between Malcolm X and Tiger Woods.
