Colossus: The Rise and Fall by Niall Ferguson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.19MB
Overview: In Colossus, Niall Ferguson confronts the idea that the United States has become, in effect, an empire. He argues that America possesses the military, economic, and cultural power of an imperial force, yet lacks the political will, fiscal discipline, and strategic foresight to sustain it.
Ferguson examines the paradox of American dominance: a nation reluctant to call itself imperial while simultaneously shaping the world order more profoundly than any empire before it. He dissects U.S. involvement in global conflicts, its role in free trade and globalization, and its deep reliance on debt.
This is both a history of empire and a sober assessment of America’s future. Ferguson warns that without addressing its contradictions and overreach, the American “colossus” risks collapse, much like the great empires that preceded it.
