Description
The Breakdown of the American Order by Emmanuel Todd In 1975, Emmanuel Todd made a prediction that would challenge conventional wisdom about the Soviet Union. Now, he returns to the debate on international power relations with another startling forecast. The United States is not at its peak power, but rather locked in the logic of decline. This book is an unembarrassed attempt to tell the truth about America's impending collapse as the sole superpower. It is not a polemical or ideological work, but rather a determined examination of the facts. Todd draws on his research from cultural anthropology and demography, as well as economics, to make his case. By understanding the reasons behind America's decline, we can begin to think about how to contain the shockwaves from its collapse. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of international power relations and the future of global stability.
