Review: The Next Decade: What the World Will Look Like

The Next Decade: What the World Will Look Like by George Friedman

My rating:
Read from June 02 to 08, 2011

Like it or not, America is an Empire. Potentially an Empire in decline. The next decade, Friedman argues, will need to be navigated adeptly by the president. Overall, the book is like an applied version of Chompsky. Most of the book is focuses on foreign policy and what will be necessary to accomplish in order to ensure that America survives. The premise is intriguing and his reasoning is pragmatic and he avoids being an ideologue.
