Great Powers: America and the World After Bush

Great thinking that provides context for strategic changes that will need to occur in a variety of areas - military, economic, political, social, etc.

I've been a fan of Dr. Barnett for a few years and read his other two books (Pentagon's New Map, Blueprint for Action). If you have read his other books and follow his blog then the book is helpful, thought-provoking, and easy to follow. If a reader is not familiar with his previous work then I think some of the statements to start the book may not seem fully supported at first, but in any case where I felt that way I thought the issues were well covered in subsequent parts of the book.

All in all I find myself thankful that someone is weaving together grand strategy like this that properly takes into account all of the factors at work instead of being in a silo focused upon only the political & military environment.
