About “After the empire”
After the Empire: The Breakdown of the American Order is a 2002 book by Emmanuel Todd, a French demographer and sociologist. In the book, Todd analyzes the United States and argues that the country is experiencing significant weaknesses that challenge its global dominance. He claims that the U.S. is losing control in economic, military, and ideological areas, contrary to the common belief in America. Todd predicts that the U.S. will no longer be the sole global superpower. He often contrasts his views with those of Zbigniew Brzezinski, particularly in relation to The Grand Chessboard. The book was a bestseller in France and received positive reviews there and in Japan. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
