Book: The End of Power
Author: Moisés Naím
Publisher: Basic Books, 2014
Power is shifting: From West to East and North to South, from presidential palaces to public squares, from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and, slowly but surely, from men to women. But power is not merely shifting and dispersing.
It is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before.
In this book Moisés Naìm illuminates the struggle between once dominant mega-players and the new micro-powers challenging them in every field of human endeavour.
He shows how the anti-establishment drive of micro-powers can topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis.
