Contents:

1. The rise of a new system -- 2. A brief history of capitalism -- 3. State capitalism: what it is and how it happened -- 4. State capitalism around the world -- 5. The challenge -- 6. Meeting the challenge.

Summary: A number of authoritarian governments, drawn to the economic power of capitalism but wary of uncontrolled free markets, have invented something new: state capitalism. In this system, governments use markets to create wealth that can be directed as political officials see fit. As an expert on the intersection between economics and politics, Ian Bremmer is uniquely qualified to illustrate the rise of state capitalism and its long-term threat to the global economy. The main characters in this story are the men who rule China, Russia, and the Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf, but their successes are attracting imitators across much of the developing world. This guide to the next big trend includes useful insights for investors, business leaders, policy makers, and anyone else who wants to understand major emerging changes in international politics and the global economy.
