Superpower
America will remain the world’s only superpower for the foreseeable future. Author Ian Bremmer urges every American to think more deeply about what sort of country America should be and how it should use its superpower status. Independent America asserts that it’s time for America to declare independence from the responsibility to solve other people’s problems. Moneyball America acknowledges that Washington can’t meet every international challenge. Indispensable America argues that only America can defend the values on which global stability increasingly depends. There are sound arguments for and against each of these choices, but we must choose.
