- Synopsis
- Power is shiftingOCofrom large, stable armies to loose bands of insurgents, from corporate leviathans to nimble start-ups, and from presidential palaces to public squares. But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and easier to lose. As a result, argues award-winning columnist and former "Foreign Policy" editor Mois(r)s Na m, all leaders have less power than their predecessors, and the potential for upheaval is unprecedented. In "The End of Power," Na m illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. The antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Drawing on provocative, original research and a lifetime of experience in global affairs, Na m explains how the end of power is reconfiguring our world. "
