The Post-American World Audiobook

" I didn't love this book. It got pretty bland in the middle, and I couldn't even finish it. "

" Very interesting analysis of America from a foreign perspective. Very good read. "

" Interesting read, but maybe more in the mold of a reaaally loooong Newsweek writeup(but that makes it easy to read). A more balanced and realistic assesment of portents of the coming world than most other works on the subject... "

" Sadly, but not surprisingly, this book already seems a bit outdated, given everything happening in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East. Still, this is a well-written and sobering book about the trend of the world away from U.S. hegemony. We'd better get used to it! "

" Takes a separate view, and one that is likely to happen should America continue its current trend "

" Zakaria definitely has a great perspective. He know's his history and geography and does a great job connecting dots and showing a perspective of the future (mainly economically) and how it wold affect America. In a way this book can be aimed at an average american wanting to know his place and better knowledge on the policies he votes for, but beyond that I learnt a lot into the idea of culture and key aspect in innovation which in a macroeconomic sense will weave the path how we will interact amongst different parts of the world. Zakaria definitely pours his research and experiences with prominent people into this book. "

" zakaria is an amazing thinker, and both this book and The Future of Freedom Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad really impressed me. "

" I *really* liked this book; very well-written and topical... "

" I hate to admit it, but it took me so long to finish this book that I cannot even comment on it. I do think it deserves to be re-read in a year or two. A close, careful read, not what i have been doing. "

" A MUST read for all "

" Moderate, honest, realistic. You don't find those in many international political books. "

" Touched upon a lot of topics that I personally finding interesting. "

" I heart Fareed ... he plainly diagnoses the most urgent challenges facing America today and then sketches out a pragmatic approach to how the country can adapt to a globalized future. His writing is at once insightful (particularly the portraits of China and India) and inspiring. "

" Interesting point of view but couldn't really get into it. "

" Excellent, especially the last chapter. I read version 2.0, the 2010 update. "

" A reality check on America's position in the global world of the 21st century! "

" if you want to prepare your children for the future this book (or listen to the audio CD on a long trip)is a must. "

" Nothing too surprising if you pay attention to the news and ask "so what?" a whole lot.That said, he has some very interesting views, and for people who don't absorb media all day, may of his stories will be shocking. "

" Brilliant writing and analysis of the global economy from a brilliant but down to earth author. "

" The beginning was interesting enough but it became repetitive and boring after a while. I couldn't finish the book... and that's never a good sign (for the book) "

" Zakaria lays out the current international reality as clearly as any other analyst I have read. If you want to understand the world as it is and as it will be, this is the book to read. "

" Sadly, but not surprisingly, this book already seems a bit outdated, given everything happening in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East. Still, this is a well-written and sobering book about the trend of the world away from U.S. hegemony. We'd better get used to it! "
