From the Paper:

"The author Parag Khanna takes on an ambitious journey in researching and writing the book The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global World by visiting dozens of countries and both observing and interviewing globalization experts to complete this book. His is a writing style comparable to Thomas Friedman; Mr. Khanna uses both personal stories and broader, more long-range economic viewpoints to make his points in this book. As a result, the book is very readable and entertaining while also informing the reader and educating them. Mr. Khanna's main point in writing the book is to explain how the three superpowers, or sometimes have been called hyper powers of the China, the United States and the European Union are completely changing how natural resources of many third world nations are going to be used.
