Clyde Prestowitz books again
Prestowitz's Rogue Nation: American Unilateralism and the Failure of Good Intentions (2003) is a strong attack on the direction America is taking, all the more remarkable because Prestowitz was a counselor to the Secretary of Commerce in the Reagan Administration. He is extremely knowledgeable. His most recent book (2005), Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Wealth and Power to the East, is a comprehensive statement of what ought to be done now in the world. The "new capitalists" of wh0m he speaks are 1.3 billion Chinese, about 1.1 billion Indians, and about 600 million from the former Soviet Union. His analyses of each country is impressive, reflecting as it does his remarkable ability to stand back and look at a nation seemingly without prejudice or ideological predilection.
