Power is shifting: The End of Power.

The End of Power is a great read for those interested in the evolving power dynamics of the 21st century. Moises Naim argues that the era of global hegemony is over and the shift towards micropowers is evident - from massive corporations to smaller start-ups, nation-states to individuals. The book provides a comprehensive and well-researched analysis of how the world is evolving towards a more democratised power system that is being impacted by factors such as new technology, evolving consumer preference, and political empowerment, thereby creating new opportunities and risks.
