This book argues that the USA is at the centre of a wealth generating voluntary empire rather than a traditional imperial system. In this study of America's unprecedented power in the international arena the authors argue that the greatest threat comes not from a rising rival power but from within in the shape of ineffective U.S. leadership. Individual chapters consider the gap between America and the rest of the world in various fields including military power, demography, economic performance, education, and science.
