Why the West Can't Win: From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World

This book argues that the three decades since the Soviet Union's collapse have quietly ended a thousand years of Western European expansionism. Fadi Lama traces how the Bretton Woods financial system became a geopolitical weapon, why dedollarization and BRICS currency arrangements are eroding it, and how a US-led "Western Realm" now confronts a "Sovereign World" grouped around Russia, Iran and China. Drawing on trade, energy and industrial-output data rather than ideology, he concludes the West's decline is structural and irreversible.
