In 'Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire,' Niall Ferguson offers a deep analysis of the history of American power in the 20th century. The author argues that the United States, despite being the most powerful empire in the world, often resists assuming the responsibilities that come with its global position. Ferguson examines how the United States has tried to globalize the free market and democracy, but lacks the will and resources necessary to maintain its influence in the long term.
