Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on July 3, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the book The Post-American World was criticized for not delivering on what the title promised: an examination of a world not dominated by America?

Notability edit

This book has recently been previewed in the New York Times. Any cites? Bearian (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

New Preface edit

While there is mention of the preface to the paperback edition, there is no discussion of it. In fact, the preface implicitly though not explicitly contradicts a lot of the main content. This is because the preface was written after the financial events of 2008 and beyond, which were not predicted in the main text.Kdammers (talk) 00:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • I wrote most of the article, but I have only read the hardcover version of this book. What does the new preface say? maclean (talk) 21:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fix up edit

The article needs a grammar check, especially in the part that disucsses Nepal.Kdammers (talk) 00:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • I have consolidated the Nepal portion. maclean (talk) 21:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

DIscussion re citing Johann Hari edit

Maclean and I are discussing our recent edits to this article on my talk page. Feel free to join in; we can always move the discussion here if appropriate. Failng that, I'll leave a permalink on this page. Cheers, CWC 09:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the removal of this review [1], I propose we use Hari's review as published in The Progressive. A third opinion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 141#Johann Hari indicates the review can be used. Therefore, I propose adding the following text: In a review published in The Progressive, Johann Hari called Zakaria's assertions Thatcherist referring to the belief that there is no alternative to globalization and free market capitalism.[1] Hari cited examples where policies such as what Zakaria advocated led to disasters, like the 1999 collapse of Argentinian economy, and financial deregulation resulting in the financial crisis of 2007–2010, which had begun just after the book was published.maclean (talk) 22:48, 27 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
