The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall Paperback - 2007

by Ian Bremmer

A successful international business expert turns conventional wisdom on its head and shows how the U.S. can start acting in its own interests.


From the publisher

What Freakonomics does for understanding the economy, The J Curve does for better understanding how nations behave. Bremmer's tour of the nations of the world -- our friends, our foes, and others in between -- shows us how to see the world fresh, get rid of shopworn attitudes, and discover a new and useful way of thinking.
