Lieber, Georgetown University[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2012.1 online resource (x, 180 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-28127-X 1-107-01068-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Machine generated contents note: 1. The American future: problems of primacy, policy, and purpose; 2. Domestic and global interactions: economics, energy, and American power; 3. American attitudes and institutions; 4. Threats to persistent primacy and the rise of others; 5. Stretch or 'imperial overstretch'; 6. Power and willpower in the American future.To argue against the widely proclaimed idea of American decline might seem a lonely task. After all, the problems are real and serious. Yet if we take a longer view, much of the discourse about decline appears exaggerated, hyperbolic and ahistorical. Why? First, because of the deep underlying strengths of the United States. These include not only size, population, demography and resources, but also the scale and importance of its economy and financial markets, its scientific research and technology, its competitiveness, its military power and its attractiveness to talented immigrants. Second, there is the weight of history and of American exceptionalism. Throughout its history, the United States has repeatedly faced and eventually overcome daunting challenges and crises. Contrary to a prevailing pessimism, there is nothing inevitable about American decline. Ultimately, the ability to avoid serious decline is less a question of material factors than of policy, leadership and political will.Power & Willpower in the American FutureExceptionalismUnited StatesNational characteristics, AmericanUnited StatesEconomic conditions2009-United StatesSocial conditions21st centuryExceptionalismNational characteristics, American.303.4973Lieber Robert J.1941-569998UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910452000103321Power and willpower in the American future2471249UNINA
