The World Turned Upside Down: America, China, and the Struggle for Global Leadership

Book Cover for The World Turned Upside Down

In his latest book, Clyde Prestowitz, President of the Economic Strategy Institute, asks and answers what a Financial Times review calls America’s big China question: Has the United States enabled the rise of a power that might supplant it as the world’s preeminent nation and, if so, what can be done about it at this late date? While Prestowitz details the features of Chinese power that threaten global liberalism and U.S. interests, his book is not an attack on China, but a prescription for Washington, the West, and all democracies.

Please join the Wilson Center for the Washington launch of a book that will help define the Biden administration’s greatest geostrategic challenge.
