"Howe and Jackson break new ground by showing how global population aging is unlikely to lead to a 'geriatric peace.' Indeed, the forces of demography may be pushing the world toward a major crisis in the 2020s. This book is a must read for all policymakers concerned with the future of geopolitics."--(Phillip Longman, New America Foundation, author of The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity and What to Do About It )

What People Are Saying

Hutchings, Princeton University, former Chairman of the U.S. National Intelligence Council)

The Graying of the Great Powers presents a clear picture of the population trends of the twenty-first century and a provocative analysis of their consequences for the politics and economics of the next four decades."--(Michael Mandelbaum, Johns Hopkins University, author of Democracy's Good Name: The Rise and Risks of the World's Most Popular Form of Government )

What People Are Saying
