In The War for Wealth, leading intellectual and agenda-setting journalist Gabor Steingart examines how globalization has affected the state of the world's economy and returns with a bleak outlook for the West: our prosperity and wealth are disappearing faster than ever, and with it our political power and our long-held democratic ideals.

The Vital Partnership is a political, historical, and intellectual assessment of the transatlantic relationship between the United States and Europe that is, according to Simon Serfaty, clearly at a crossroads. Serfaty calls on the Bush administration to work with the Europeans to craft a new transatlantic charter, which will require three things: the EU and member states must assume a larger role in global relations; NATO must be willing and able to act locally to protect European security; America and the EU must implement a strategic security compact in the post-9/11 world.

'A book that analyzes what leadership really means and how it relates to power. It will be invaluable for both political and business leaders alike.
