"A remarkable new book by the remarkable Moises Naim, the former editor of "Foreign Policy." It was recommended to me by former president Bill Clinton during a brief conversation on the situation in Egypt."--Richard Cohen, "Washington Post" "In his new book called "The End of Power," Moises Naim goes so far as to say that power is actually decaying. I actually find the argument rather persuasive."--General Martin Dempsey-Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff "I particularly enjoyed "The End of Power" by Moises Naim.... It is particularly relevant for big institutions like GE."--Jeff Immelt, CEO, GE "[An] altogether mind-blowing and happily convincing treatise about how 'power is becoming more feeble, transient, and constrained.'"--Nick Gillespie, "Barron's" "Moises Naim's "The End of Power" offers a cautionary tale to would-be Lincolns in the modern era.
