In The Future Is Asian, Khanna, who specializes in international relations, argues that the 21st century is “the time of Asianization,” and that the U.S. can’t afford to continue misunderstanding the region. The book, Khanna’s sixth, was published in February. “It’s basically, [the U.S. economy is] done, and the Asian economy is the next big thing,” Arana says, summarizing its thesis. Khanna has an impressive résumé: He’s the founder and managing partner of FutureMap, a strategic advisory firm, and he has degrees from the London School of Economics and the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
