1. Why America Is Not A New Rome by Vaclav Smil
This book presents a detailed comparison between the United States and ancient Rome, debunking the popular notion that America is following the same trajectory as the Roman Empire towards decline and fall. The author meticulously examines various dimensions including military power, political systems, social structures, and economic dynamics to highlight the fundamental differences between the two entities. Through a rigorous analysis, it is argued that simplistic analogies between Rome and the United States overlook significant dissimilarities, particularly in terms of resilience, adaptability, and global influence, ultimately making the case that America's path is distinct from that of ancient Rome.
