Cogent, provocative book on America and its role in the contemporary world
Bob Hormats is an author of great perceptiveness and intellectual depth. For more than four decades, he has been engaged with the issue of globalization -- long before the term "globalization" became en vogue. As vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International, Hormats has had access to the corridors of high finance all around the world. As a member of several administrations in Washington, he's had access to the corridors of power in many chancelleries. Hormats writes with clarity and depth, and invites the reader to understand the pressing contemporary issues of our time. For those who especially want to understand how the American political and economic systems mesh in the policymaking zone, this book is absolutely essential reading.
