Amazon.com Review 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."
Just the kind of book our future president SHOULD be reading if he is to help us successfully navigate the world of the future. KUDOS to Obama for finding an appropriate book to read. Wonder what McCain is reading? Hope it's not: The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil
I just wanted to comment...I'm just curious...do you know that Allah is God and that the God that Muslims refer to is the same God that Christians, Catholics, Jewish, etc refer to?
Well I was just curious - I had never heard of it before - now I know why. I like to learn about other religions - as long as no one is trying to 'convert' me. I didn't mean to offend you, truly I was just curious.

"I am a ZETITE - why don't I count???"
I've never heard of that - what is it? How does it compare with mainstream Christianity - or does it?
I'm sure its accurate, and how wonderful to know that Obama reads (as opposed to say......the VP cadidiate from the other party ;-).
Its a great book.
LOL!
