Widely reviewed and critically praised, Emmanuel Todd's "After
the Empire" predicts that the United States is forfeiting its
superpower status as it moves away from traditional democratic
values of egalitarianism and universalism, lives far beyond its
means economically, and continues to anger foreign allies and
enemies alike with its military and ideological policies. As
America's global dominance evaporates, Todd foresees the emergence
of a Eurasian alliance bringing together Europe, Russia, Japan, and
the Arab-Islamic world.
Todd calmly and straightforwardly takes stock of many negative
trends, including America's weakened commitment to the
socio-economic integration of African Americans, a bulimic economy
that increasingly relies on smoke and mirrors and the goodwill of
foreign investors, and a foreign policy that squanders the
country's reserves of "soft power" while its militaristic
arsonist-fireman behavior is met with increasing resistance.
Written by a demographer and historian who foresaw the collapse of
the Soviet Union, this original and daring book cannot be
ignored.
