Liberal democracies of the West are in decline. A former editor of the Economist explains how they must change in order to recover and thrive
Bill Emmott was the editor-in-chief of the Economist from 1993 to 2006, and is now a writer and consultant on international affairs. He is a regular contributor to the Financial Times, La Stampa and Nikkei Business. He is the author of several books, including 20:21 Vision: 20th-Century Lessons for the 21st Century (2003), Rivals: How the Power Struggle between China, India and Japan will Shape our Next Decade (2008) and Good Italy, Bad Italy: Why Italy Must Conquer Its Demons to Face the Future (2012).
Emmott takes a more structured as well as a wider approach to his
subject, laying out with customary skill and depth a range of the
challenges before the world's liberal democracies ... Emmott is
both sobering and mildly reassuring ... This is all done with a
scope and style that any reader will admire.

Praise for Rivals:
'Remarkable for the clarity of its economic and historical analysis
and the cogency of his arguments
*Financial Times*
Elegantly written and strong on economic analysis
*Saturday Telegraph*
Praise for Good Italy, Bad Italy:
'[A] lucid and thoughtful book - it is written in a graceful style
that is stronger for its careful - even delicate - illumination of
personal and national failure than simply offering a wilderness of
denunciations.
