After the Empire

In this book, Emmanuel Todd argues that the United States is rapidly losing its status as the sole global superpower due to fundamental weaknesses in its economic, military, and ideological structures.

Todd contends that America's power is waning because it consumes more than it produces, relies heavily on external wealth, and maintains its dominance through aggressive military policies rather than genuine strength.

He also critiques the rise of global terrorism as overstated and serving American interests, and argues that democracy and education are spreading globally, challenging the U.S.

's role.

Todd predicts a future where Europe, Russia, and Japan will emerge as key global players, potentially forming a Eurasian alliance that could supplant American dominance.
