That Used to Be Us
What went wrong with America

America has a huge problem. It faces four major challenges, on which its future depends, and it is failing to meet them. In What's Wrong with America, Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum analyze those challenges - globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nation's chronic deficits, and its pattern of energy consumption - and spell out what needs to be done now to rediscover America's power and prowess.They explain how the end of the cold war blinded the nation to the need to address these issues seriously.
