The End of Influence - What Happens When Other Countries Have the Money - Thryft

Analyzing America's diminishing global economic sway.

If you're intrigued by global economic shifts and the ebb and flow of national power, "The End Of Influence" might be a thoughtful addition to your reading list. Cohen and DeLong present a compelling examination of how the financial tide is turning and what that means for America's role on the world stage. Their foresight into soft power dynamics and innovation is particularly poignant for anyone interested in geopolitics and economics.

Description

At the end of World War II, the United States had all the money—and all the power. Now, America finds itself cash poor, and to a great extent power follows money. In The End of Influence, renowned economic analysts Stephen S. Cohen and J. Bradford DeLong explore the grave consequences this loss will have for America’s place in the world. America, Cohen and DeLong argue, will no longer be the world’s hyperpower. It will no longer wield soft cultural power or dictate a monolithic foreign policy. More damaging, though, is the blow to the world’s ability to innovate economically, financially, and politically. Cohen and DeLong also explore America's complicated relationship with China, the misunderstood role of sovereign wealth funds, and the return of state-led capitalism. An essential read for anyone interested in how global economics and finance interact with national policy, The End of Influence explains the far-reaching and potentially long-lasting but little-noted consequences of our great fiscal crisis.
