Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Something is breaking in America. The whole world can feel it.For seventy years, the international order was built around American power, American institutions, and American promises. That order is now unraveling. The alliances are fraying. The rules are being broken openly and without apology. And the nation that did more than any other to build the postwar world is the one dismantling it. In Fault Lines, leadership scholar Raymond B. Williams does what politicians and pundits have largely failed to do: he tells the truth about what is actually happening to the most powerful nation in modern history, and what it means for all of us.This is not a book about one election or one leader. Williams traces the forces that made this moment inevitable: two centuries of imperial expansion dressed as democracy, the deliberate manufacture of distrust, an economy that has hollowed out the middle class while concentrating power at the top, and a myth of exceptionalism so deeply embedded it has become a barrier to the honest self-examination that might yet save the patient. Williams brings a perspective few commentators on either side of the border can claim. Born in a Japanese internment camp in British Hong Kong in the final weeks of World War II, he has spent eight decades watching what happens when the rules that hold civilization together are treated as optional. He writes not with anger or ideology, but with the precision of someone who has studied this pattern before, in other empires, in other centuries, and who recognizes it now with cold clarity. For American readers, Fault Lines is a reckoning: unflinching, evidence-based, and ultimately hopeful in the only honest way available, not by minimizing the damage, but by insisting that what is understood can still be addressed.For readers everywhere else, it is something equally necessary: a serious account of where America actually stands, how it arrived there, and what the rest of the world needs to understand and prepare for, regardless of what Americans choose to do next. The 250-year clock has run out. What happens next is still, partly, a choice. But only if enough people are willing to see things as they are. This item is printed on demand.
