I apologize for the technical problems today and hope that everyone came away from the class having gained an initial idea of what Zakaria's book is about. While there are those that disagree with him, he adamantly believes that the U.S. is positioned to prosper by playing a different role in the global economy and political structure. We'll look more closely at his thoughts in the next three weeks and on the final class discuss how we feel about his conclusions. I recommend the book, at least for a thoughtful presentation of an important subject. Remember, often reading books that disagree with your point of view just provides you a better perspective on your own ideas...so whether you agree or disagree with his ideas, you would probably benefit from a reading of it. Here's his photo, you may well have seen him on TV.
