Humanity needs a new vision of the future if we are to navigate the looming challenges unleashed by globalization. Our current era demands new approaches, courageous ideas, and bold leadership. Barnett’s unique perspective and ideas will challenge your assumptions and beliefs, invite productive conversations about our national strategies, and inspire action among our leaders.
This book is organized around seven throughlines— global truths that are inescapably pushing our planet down a certain range of paths. These inevitabilities must be confronted: climate change, demographic aging, the power of an ascendant global middle class, brand wars to win allegiance, and globalization’s consolidation along North-South lines.
America’s New Map decodes the complexity of today's world by presenting data and straightforward stories about complex global dynamics. This book will be eminently useful to all audiences from enterprises to entrepreneurs and boardrooms to classrooms. It will help any leader parse through the world’s complexity, sift through widespread perceptions of chaos, and adjust their portfolios for decades to come.
Come mid century, we’re all going to be living in somebody’s world. America’s New Map explains how we make sure it’s the world we want.
