The United States has been the world's dominant power for more than a century. Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline. Is the unipolar moment over? Is America finished as a superpower? In this book, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world's sole superpower throughout this century. We are not living in a transitional, post-Cold War era. Instead, we are in the midst of what he calls the unipolar era—a period as singular and important as any epoch in modern history. This era, Beckley contends, will endure because the US has a much larger economic and military lead over its closest rival, China, than most people think and the best prospects of any nation to amass wealth and power in the decades ahead. Deeply researched and brilliantly argued, this book covers hundreds of years of great power politics and develops new methods for measuring power and predicting the rise and fall of nations. By documenting long-term trends in the global balance of power and explaining their implications for world politics, the book provides guidance for policymakers, businesspeople, and scholars alike.

The institution of the family (the strength of America), which traditionally was Christian, our Constitution mandated government to defend. Americans become "One in strength" as each American citizen respect one another as members of one family (America) and regard all other American citizens as family (One for all and all for one). In considering "The Freedom of Worship," the phrase, "Separation of Church and State" meant to our founding fathers that government is mandated to allow (protect and defend) freedom of conscience (religious freedom) but not to eliminate God and Christ from the public square, nor ignore the fact that American democracy was founded on Christianity. As a matter of record, a person running for public office back then was expected or, at the very least, assumed to have embraced a faith in the "Creator God and Jesus Christ, Savior of the World." Privileged Americans of voting age have a duty to vote. The phrase "trust but verify" should be our motto concerning the claims of politicians. The verification of what they're about should take place long before entering the polling booth, for the sake of our country, our families, and the future of our children.
