After you read The End of Power you will see the world through different eyes. Moisés Naím provides a compelling and original perspective on the surprising new ways power is acquired, used, and lost and how these changes affect our daily lives.” Arianna Huffington
[An] altogether mind-blowing and happily convincing treatise about how 'power is becoming more feeble, transient, and constrained.'"
Nick Gillespie, Barron's
Moisés Naím's The End of Power offers a cautionary tale to would-be Lincolns in the modern era. Naím is a courageous writer who seeks to dissect big subjects in new ways. At a time when critics of overreaching governments, big banks, media moguls and concentrated wealth decry the power of the '1%,' Mr. Naím argues that leaders of all types political, corporate, military, religious, union face bigger, more complex problems with weaker hands than in the past.”
Wall Street Journal

Booklist
Having served as editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy and the executive director of the World Bank, Naím knows better than most what power on a global scale looks like . [A] timely, insightful, and eloquent message.”
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Foreign Policy editor-in-chief Naím argues that global institutions of power are losing their ability to command respect. Whether considering institutions of government, military, religion or business, the author believes their power to be in the process of decaying . A data-packed, intriguing analysis.”
Kirkus Reviews
The End of Power will change the way you read the news, the way you think about politics, and the way you look at the world.”
William Jefferson Clinton
Who is in charge? This book says nobody. The monopolies of coercion that characterised states, the potency of advanced militaries, the media organisations that controlled information, and the religious institutions that defined orthodoxy are all losing control. Readers may disagree; they will be provoked.”
Financial Times, Best of the Year
It's not just that power shifts from one country to another, from one political party to another, from one business model to another, Naim argues; it's this: Power is decaying.”
Gordon M. Goldstein, Washington Post, Notable Non-Fiction Book of the Year
A remarkable new book by the remarkable Moises Naim, the former editor of Foreign Policy. It was recommended to me by former president Bill Clinton during a brief conversation on the situation in Egypt.”
Richard Cohen, Washington Post
"In his new book called The End of Power, Moises Naim goes so far as to say that power is actually decaying. I actually find the argument rather persuasive."
General Martin Dempsey-Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
"I particularly enjoyed The End of Power by Moisés Naim.... It is particularly relevant for big institutions like GE."
Jeff Immelt, CEO, GE
