The World After American Dominance: Multipolar Power, the Decline of U.S. Hegemony, and the New Global Order

"The U.S. didn't rule the world—it managed risk. Now, that manager is leaving the building." In 2026, global stability is no longer guaranteed; it is negotiated, transactional, and temporary. As Washington pivots toward an "America First" realism—withdrawing from multilateral frameworks and asserting unilateral control over strategic resources—the world is entering a volatile phase of fragmentation. In The World After American Dominance, Thomas Prescott provides a calm, concrete, and unsensational roadmap for the next global system, explaining why multipolarity won't just change the map—it will change your life.

Moving with the analytical clarity of a Caspian Report briefing, Prescott strips away the academic theory to reveal the hard reality of a world without a "Global Sheriff." He explores how the erosion of Western hegemony manifests in your daily life: through fragmented supply chains that drive up costs, parallel payment systems that re-politicize your money, and borders that have become hard, selective, and unpredictable. This is not a declinist manifesto, but a practical study of "Risk Literacy"—identifying the winners (resource holders and neutral brokers) and the losers (export-dependent middle powers) in a world where red lines are blurring and instability is the new baseline.

From the Arctic standoff over Greenland to the direct military predominance in the Western Hemisphere, The World After American Dominance captures the moment when the "End of History" finally ended. Whether you are an investor navigating currency friction, a traveler facing new visa politics, or a citizen watching regional conflicts erupt without intervention, this book explains how to stay whole in a world that no longer picks up the phone. The post-American world is not chaos, but it is a world where consequences arrive faster, louder, and much closer to home.
