She examines how the West's flawed financial decisions have resulted in an economic and geopolitical seesaw that is now poised to tip in favor of the emerging world, especially China. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmid the hype of China's rise, however, the most important story of our generation is being pushed aside: America is not just in economic decline, but on course to become the biggest welfare state in the history of the West. The real danger is a thome, Moyo claims. While some countries - such as Germany and Sweden - have deliberately engineered and financed welfare states, the United States risks turning itself into a bloated welfare state not because of ideology or a larger vision of economic justice, but out of economic desperation and short-sighted policymaking. \u003ci\u003eHow the West Was Lost\u003c\/i\u003e reveals not only the economic myopia of the West but also the radical solutions that it needs to adopt in order to assert itself as a global economic power once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dambisa Moyo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374533210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374533212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.25w x 0.64d","brand":"Dambisa Moyo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993954910463,"sku":"9780374533212","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46b53142-4a78-4a86-b0e3-123f32a6e0cb.jpg?v=1683327265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-the-west-was-lost-dambisa-moyo-9780374533212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
