To regain its capacity to effectively deter China and retain its unmatched global status, the United States must deepen its partnership with the nation's most innovative tech companies. In The American Edge, Seth G. Jones explains how the industrial bases of the world's great military powers have risen, fallen, and evolved relative to each other over the past century.

Some were forged in war. Others were drawn in pencil by people who’d never even been there.

China ya no es solo la fábrica del mundo, también es su mayor banquero. Con su enorme reserva en divisas podría comprar el planeta. Y ya ha empezado a hacerlo. Esto significa que el gobierno chino tiene, en pleno siglo XXI, un poder de control inaudito sobre los países occidentales. Las economías y gobiernos del llamado Primer Mundo necesitan sus inversiones para salir de la crisis. También los resultados de las multinacionales más poderosas dependen de China. Ni en sus sueños más ambiciosos Mao Tse Tung hubiera podido imaginar algo así.
