The Big Ten

Jeffrey E. Garten

The greatest challenge to America's global position in the 21st century will not come from Russia, Germany or Japan, but from a new set of rising powers known as the Big Emerging Markets: countries like China, India and Brazil. Never before have so many large economies emerged as potential world powers at the same time, and as they reshape the world economy, they are rewriting the rules of global politics.

"The Big Ten" is a concise and impassioned guide to this brave new world, as Jeffrey E. Garten introduces us to the ten most dynamic emerging powers, and makes a compelling case for increased American engagement and trade with them. With our jobs, pension plans, environment and national security all bound up in maintaining our trade with the rest of the world, we cannot ignore these new formidable challenges if America is to remain a world power.
