The Future of Freedom by Fareed Zakaria


The Future of Freedom by Fareed Zakaria . Another excellent read.

In his book, The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad, Zakaria argues that in trying to export democracy to other countries, the United States has often mistakenly equated democracy with free elections, whereas he thinks both capitalism and order must come first.

Here's the link to the excerpt of the book.

Zakaria first came to national prominence three weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when he wrote a 7,000-word cover story for Newsweek titled "The Politics of Rage: Why Do They Hate Us?"
