The rise and fall of great powers - Paul Kennedy

“The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" by Paul Kennedy, which examines the relationship between economic power and military power. The author suggests that overexpansion of military commitments can lead to economic decline in great powers, resulting in the loss of global dominance. Kennedy's analysis draws on historical examples, such as the decline of the British Empire in the 20th century, to illustrate the challenges faced by nations that attempt to maintain overextended military commitments beyond their economic capacity.
