New world in the making
Joseph Joffe [left] reviews Fareed Zakaria's "relentlessly intelligent" book about America's global role and the rising power of Asia's new giant. One arresting statistic: today's China now exports as much in a single day as it managed in the whole of 1978. For all that, Joffe - now a fellow at Stanford - doesn't believe US is doomed to decline. And nor, it seems, does Zakaria. "His point is not the demise of Gulliver, but the 'rise of the rest.'"
