The Battle to Save the World's Most Successful Political Idea
Emmott takes a more structured as well as a wider approach to his subject, laying out with customary skill and depth a range of the challenges before the world's liberal democracies ...

Why Italy Must Conquer Its Demons to Face the Future
Explores the origins of Italy's economic crisis, which is characterized by slow economic growth, large public debts, and the mass emigration of young people, and discusses how the situation can be improved.
The world is changing, as political and economic power shift further towards Asia. In this penetrating book Bill Emmott shows the ways in which our future will be dominated not by one, but by three Asian giants - China, India and a newly resurgent Japan. How will competition between the emergent great powers in the East affect the West? What will the potential benefits, tensions and danger zones be? Emmott, former editor of the Economist, is one of the world's most authoritative international commentators. In Rivals he has written the essential book for understanding how this new power game will shape the twenty-first century.
Drawing on the characteristic developments of the last century, Bill Emmott sketches out the challenges that face the world in the next. There are few people who combine a truly global distribution of interests and insights with Bill Emmott's profile and experience. This book should be of interest to the managerial and investing classes, and everyone who seeks to appreciate more clearly the key assumptions on which public and commercial policy will be based in the first decade of the 21st century.

"The attacks on September 11, 2001, shook the rich West out of its complacency: suddenly, peace seemed to be in peril. Already it had become clear that prosperity was endangered. Campaigns were being mounted against the purported evils of capitalist globalization - inequality, pollution, and financial instability - and America's high-tech stock market boom had turned rapidly to bust. How had it all happened? During the decade following the end of the cold war, prospects had looked so rosy: peace prevailed among the world's great powers, billions of people were joining the world market economy, and great waves of technological change were driving economies forward."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
