Paperback. Something is breaking in America. The whole world can feel it.For seventy years, the international order was built around American power, American institutions, and American promises. That order is now unraveling. The alliances are fraying. The rules are being broken openly and without apology. And the nation that did more than any other to build the postwar world is the one dismantling it. In Fault Lines, leadership scholar Raymond B. Williams does what politicians and pundits have largely failed to do: he tells the truth about what is actually happening to the most powerful nation in modern history, and what it means for all of us.This is not a book about one election or one leader. Williams traces the forces that made this moment inevitable: two centuries of imperial expansion dressed as democracy, the deliberate manufacture of distrust, an economy that has hollowed out the middle class while concentrating power at the top, and a myth of exceptionalism so deeply embedded it has become a barrier to the honest self-examination that might yet save the patient. Williams brings a perspective few commentators on either side of the border can claim. Born in a Japanese internment camp in British Hong Kong in the final weeks of World War II, he has spent eight decades watching what happens when the rules that hold civilization together are treated as optional. He writes not with anger or ideology, but with the precision of someone who has studied this pattern before, in other empires, in other centuries, and who recognizes it now with cold clarity. For American readers, Fault Lines is a reckoning: unflinching, evidence-based, and ultimately hopeful in the only honest way available, not by minimizing the damage, but by insisting that what is understood can still be addressed.For readers everywhere else, it is something equally necessary: a serious account of where America actually stands, how it arrived there, and what the rest of the world needs to understand and prepare for, regardless of what Americans choose to do next. The 250-year clock has run out. What happens next is still, partly, a choice. But only if enough people are willing to see things as they are. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
