The Pulitzer PrizeтАУwinning journalist delivers тАЬ[a] sobering account of the struggle for world economic supremacyтАЭ in this New York Times bestseller (Library Journal).
┬аWhat can we learn from the events of twentieth century? With the effects of the Cold War still evident in the global economy and the lives of everyday Americans, master journalist and historian David Halberstam sets out to answer this question. HalberstamтАЩs perceptive The Next Century looks to the future by examining the past. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economyтАЩs survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker. As pertinent in todayтАЩs economy as it was when first published in 1991, The Next Century is a timeless call to arms, reminding us that we must continually better ourselves in order to compete on the world stage.┬аThis ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.
