About this product
Product Information
Hailed in the wall Street Journal as one of the best books of the year, The Myth of AmericaÆs Decline is a highly provocative look at how the United States, for all its failings, continues to lead the world in military, economic, and cultural power, with seventeen of the world's top twenty universities being American. Yet "American the Has-Been" is an old story, used ever the Soviets launched their Sputnik into space in 1957. Drawing from lively historical examples and empirical economic analyses, Josef Joffe explains that these doomsday scenarios-one per decade-never materialize and the current headlines are just Decline 5.0. The latest contender for the number-one slot, China, is slowing down, as have the Asian wunderkinder of yore, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. The Myth of America's Decline shows why. Book jacket.

Reviews
Joe Joffe is one of the world's keenest geopolitical thinkers. This book is a valuable corrective for those caught up in the latest wave of American declinism., Persuasive. . . . . For readers tired of blame-America-first critics or who want to find out what a smart, influential European thinks of the country's prospects, Joffe's book is a useful place to begin., In lucid and logical style, one of Europe's leading intellectuals skewers the anti-Americanisms of his compatriots while telling the United States how to survive as the only superpower., Effectively lays to rest the belief that America has lost its preeminence. . . . A book that should be of interest to all who may be worried about America's future., A stirring case against the Fareed Zakaria and Thomas Friedman's of the world that America is strong and getting stronger.... While acknowledging that anything is possible and America's best days may yet be behind us, Joffe is adept at explaining the intangible factors that will likely ensure America's preeminence for ages to come.
