Description: Author Kati Suominen takes stock of the US-led economic order under which the world has operated in the post World War II era. She accounts for the 21st century challenges to this balance of power, and offers a roadmap for Washington to advance global growth and stability in the decades to come. This text is a call for leadership in the global economy and, ultimately, it shows that only the United States is fit to answer this charge.
Review Quotes: "Peerless and Periled goes right to the heart of the most substantive issues surrounding the international financial crisis, and what steps the United States must take to secure a prosperous future. Suominen's analysis will be praised by experts in current affairs, but this book excels because it is accessible to the smart and skilled everyman."--Theodore H. Moran, Georgetown University and Author of Harnessing Foreign Direct Investment for Development
