Out of Control:

Global Turmoil on the Eve of the 21st Century
Front Cover
3 Reviews
Simon and Schuster, Nov 30, 2010 - History - 256 pages
Brzezinski provides a stark and realistic look at the world's economy and moral crisis in a brilliant analysis of today's geopolitical order.

If America is to reassert its moral legitimacy, Brzezinski argues, it must address its basic dilemmas, including deepening poverty, inadequate health care and education, a greedy wealthy class opposed to progressive taxation, and the mass media's promotion of sex and violence. In the new world of rival global power clusters, Brzezinski urges a greater role for the United Nations and "redistribution of responsibilities" within the trilateral nexus of Europe, America and East Asia (Publisher’s Weekly).

Review: Out of Control: Global Turmoil on the Eve of the 21st Century

User Review  - Alex - Goodreads

Due to the fact that the book was published back in the early nineties, some of the international political observations are outdated. However, the principles that he emphasizes in the book are still applicable, probably even more so today. It is a great book. Read full review
