Politician and academic Vince Cable examines what the rise of Asian superstates means for the future of the world.
The former leader of the Liberal Democrats is the author of Eclipsing the West, an incisive look at what the new international order will be. As the Western-dominated world we have known for the past 300 years comes to an end, and as America withdraws from its role as enforcer of the international order, Cable looks at the other countries moving to fill the void, including superstates China and India.
Cable, who has insight into both countries as a professional economist and later as a senior government minister, draws on his lifetime of experience to offer a compelling account of what comes next when it comes to global power.
