The Post-American World 2.0

One of the best books I have have ever heard or read - ah-ha's and paradigm shifts galore await you.

I think the 2.0 reading is really the 1.0 with a few 2.0 sections pasted in. You can tell in the audio when mid thought the sound gets noticeably louder or softer.

Great book with important insights into how the world works. It is thick "listening" at times so you'll need to pay attention.

Zakaria's analysis of the challenges of the modern world and changing international relations are excellent, well-researched and moderate with an emphasis on practicality. His arguments are always rooted in historical fact and are unbeholden to any singular philosophy. I have a degree in International Relations and Global Business and find that this book is an excellent summary of the global trends that many Americans are losing sleep about.

He provides recommendations for American policy to avoid going the path of the British at the turn of the last century. A must-read for anybody with an interest in American politics, economics or foreign policy.

Finally we have an accurate, well-researched, and intellectually honest description of America's predicament and our best course of action moving into the new century of the "Rise of the Rest."

This is a very researched book and written so well. Fareed did the book narrating himself. As jobs continue to be the issue and with rise of the rest, we need all be updated on these matters of geopolitics. Also I think the audio format is probably the best way to consume the book content.

Fareed Zakaria explains his view of a Post American World with a no nonsense common sense approach. No bias to either political party. A plus is Fareed is the narrator. A+++

America's future explained.

Apparently Fareed Zakaria's favorite character on the world stage is BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China). I'm starting to root for China after reading this book.

He opened up a new perspective of where the US is in relation to the rest of the world, and made me look at our economic status in a more optimistic yet critical way.

Didn't make me laugh or cry. But it made me think.

Read this with an open mind from the beginning and you'll start seeing the signs of him being right all around you.

This was a fantastic learning experience from the very start. I learned more about the world than I ever thought I would from a book I thought was mostly about economics!

Knowledge about the 13th and 14th century world was really surprising.

He as a nice voice and does not exagerate or impose his oppinions on the facts. Check most of the things that I have believed to be different and found his research to be 100% correct.

Shock at why so much of world history is was left out of my American version!

Everyone should read this book just to find out what other countries were and are really doing, not the Fox News versions we hear every day.

No holds barred look at the future of America's influence in the world.

The fragile nature of America's future as an economic super power.

I look to Fareed to give me a wider and more global perspective on everything. My experience in selling to Korea, Taiwan and Australia mirrors what he is describing to a tee.

Yes, this is a repeat listen, there's so much information and it also gets you thinking about headlines as they come, creating a more integrated, broad worldview.

I might be projecting, but hearing his voice makes me feel more deliberative about its assertions and not as prone to taking it in like a textbook.
