Summary:
The book presents three distinct strategic visions for America's future role in international affairs: Indispensable America, which advocates for active global leadership; Moneyball America, which suggests a pragmatic approach focusing on cost-benefit analysis; and Independent America, which argues for a more isolationist stance prioritizing domestic issues. Through these lenses, the author examines the potential consequences of each strategy on global stability and America's place in the world.
Key points:
1. Indispensable America: The U.S. leads globally, acting as the world's police and main diplomat, essential for stability, and ready to use military and diplomatic power to influence events and promote democracy.
