Worth reading: "Waving Goodbye to Hegemony"
This weekend, I started reading "Waving Goodbye to Hegemony," by Parag Khanna, a senior research fellow in the American Strategy Program of the New America Foundation. This is an important article which I’ll finish as time allows.
Steve Clemons of The Washington Note thinks it’s important, too. This morning he posted "America Diminished: Parag Khanna's 'Waving Goodbye to Hegemony.'" Check out his post; there’s a great photo illustration of the world and the future role of the U.S. Steve is also a senior research fellow in the American Strategy Program of the New America Foundation.

Mahalo for your suggested readings. ALT
I've been plowing through this long article for a couple of days. How do I explain my relief at the likelihood that the U.S. will no longer be king of the hill? Remember those old Westerns where the top gun had to be constantly on guard because everyone wanted to challenge him?
Think of the great social strides that Europe made during its period of eclipse after World War II.
Inevitably, the Most Powerful Country has to put its resources into staying on top rather than taking care of its people.
