Synopsis

What Freakonomics does for understanding the economy, The J Curve does for better understanding how nations behave. Bremmer's tour of the nations of the world -- our friends, our foes, and others in between -- shows us how to see the world fresh, get rid of shopworn attitudes, and discover a new and useful way of thinking.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Extravagantly praised in hardback, the term J Curve has entered the language as a tool for understanding how nations behave. What Freakonomics did for how the economy works, Bremmer does for Western interest.
