The Risks and Rewards for the Westin the Coming Multipolar World "A marked shift has occurred in the tone and assumptions surrounding our national fortune. Nowhere is this better seen than in the second generation of books dealing with America's financial crisis, particularly Joseph P. Quinlan's The Last Economic Superpower." New York Journal of Books The global economy, designed by Westernpowers with the United States as lead architect,is in the process of reconfiguration. The2008 global financial crisis has terminatedAmerica's reign as sole economic superpowerand opened up important new spheres of influenceto developing nations. Does this signal the retreat of globalizationas we know it? Has an economic "coldwar" already begun? Will the West ever exertthe kind of control and influence it enjoyedjust a few short years ago? In The Last Economic Superpower, JosephP.
