His bestselling book The End of Power examines how traditional forms of power are weakening in today’s world. Naím is a frequent speaker and media contributor, recognized for translating complex geopolitical shifts into accessible, thought-provoking insights for policymakers and general readers alike.
Naím explores a global shift in how power is acquired, wielded, and lost. He argues that power is becoming more widespread but harder to maintain, as traditional institutions lose influence to smaller players and individuals. Through examples in politics, business, military, and religion, Naím shows how the erosion of hierarchy and the democratization of influence are reshaping society. This book challenges assumptions about leadership and authority in the 21st century. As the inaugural selection for Mark Zuckerberg’s book club, The End of Power offers a thought-provoking look at the fragmentation and volatility of modern power structures.
