Publisher's summary

The provocative best seller explaining the decline of power in the 21st century - in government, business, and beyond.

Power is shifting - from large, stable armies to loose bands of insurgents, from corporate leviathans to nimble start-ups, and from presidential palaces to public squares. But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and easier to lose. In The End of Power, award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research and a lifetime of experience in global affairs, Naím explains how the end of power is reconfiguring our world.

"The End of Power will...change the way you look at the world." (Bill Clinton)

"Extraordinary." (George Soros)

"Compelling and original." (Arianna Huffington)

"A fascinating new perspective...Naím makes eye-opening connections." (Francis Fukuyama)

Another Power book

The power of 48 Laws was enough an pretty much obvious, they speak on new power ending an forming but I think not.

Super Informative

The scope of this book is incredible. I plan on listening to it several times just to take all of it in! The balance of power, and the nature of power itself is definitely changing very quickly! I recommend this to anyone interested in foreign relations, free vs regulated markets, or the role of authority in society.

High Hopes- Low Output

The premise of the book really intrigued me, and I was hopeful to really understand how power was shaped these days. However, I feel the book lacked flow and the narrative was just a lot of examples of power shift with no end in sight. I really struggled to get through the book, but did feel I enhanced my knowledge on some topics I knew little about.

Profound Manifestation

For a book written in 2013, the implications outlined have played out in 2023 nearly verbatim. A little scary, a little hopeful, but definitely intriguing how the 2016 election, the impact of widespread AI, the Ukrainian War and the Israeli war all are derivatives if the elements Moises described 10 years earlier. What’s next?
