Summary:

Allegations that America is in decline have become commonplace in the years since the Cold War ended, likened by many to the collapse of imperial Rome. This thesis is energetically refuted by Valladao who believes that America will dominate the 21st century because it alone has the means--and the will--to do so. "Valladao shows that Americans, in learning to manage their own diversity, also learnt to manage the world".--Liberation (Paris).
