Drawing on interviews with heads of state and CEOs worldwide, The Commanding Heights is a revealing, in-depth investigation of how the upheavals of the last 20 years -- including China's entrance into world markets and increased deregulation and privatization -- have radically transformed our world and what these changes portend for the future.

A look at the shift of assets from central governments to private enterprise in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East analyzes how such changes as deregulation and privatization will affect economic power in the world.
