Is the American Century Over? by Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

Is the American Century Over? (2015)

An assessment from a close colleague of Fukuyama, where he gauges the strengths and weaknesses of the United States in an era of rising great-power politics. Crucially, this assessment took place before the election of Trump. Use it as the baseline against which to measure the decade that followed.

Read it asking: Nye offers a long list of structural advantages that the United States holds over any rival. How many of those advantages still hold?
