“For Americans, viewing their history through Valladao’s Brazilian lens may prove particularly enlightening, offering a new perspective on familiar events. Whether your interest is business or politics, add this one to your library.”—Executive Book Summaries

“One might expect a Brazilian living in Paris to treat ‘the great mutation’ with a certain reserved scepticism. Not so. Valladao is optimistic about the ability of the empire, if properly managed, to win the consent of the peoples making up ‘the federation for free nations’. This imaginative and thought-provoking study is well worth attention.”—Foreign Affairs

“This striking, original, and thoughtful essay on the changing nature of America’s global dominance is something of a landmark on the long pilgrimage of the New Left towards accepting, understanding, and finally appreciating the country they once patronised and despised.”—The Tribune
