The book of the famous British scientist Paul Kennedy is considering the history of continuous shifts of world centers of power over the past five hundred years - from the era of the origin of large monarchies and the beginnings of colonial empires until the beginning of the XXI century. Emphasizing the relationship of the economy, scientific and technical innovations and the ability of state policy to effectively use its resources in peacetime and at war, the author deduces patterns that allow one or another state at a certain moment in history to receive leadership in the world stage, which as a result of violation of the balance between the military And economic potential easily goes to the new world power. For the first time, the book was published in 1987, and the last chapter in it sounded as a forecast for a possible balance of forces in the world by the beginning of the XXI century
