Talk:The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still a stub. Will expand. I don't believe this work has been re-published since 1989 (which is actually sort of surprising). If anyone knows otherwise make note here. Marskell 10:35, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

I hope my edits add to this entry and help entice others to read this book. For me it was a long and difficult read since a lot of this history was new to me (not taught a lot in US schools). The addition of the historical atlases helped immensely as well as a couple other historical references.

I found it quite hard to remove myself from my current political views on US economic policy while writing this and I really wanted to raise Kennedy's negative views of Reagan's deficit spending analogous to today.
