How the West Was Lost

What's inside?
As the People’s Republic of China develops, expect it to cooperate with, not confront, Western nations.
Recommendation
China is on track to become the world’s most powerful economy, and it will probably hold that status for a long time. To understand this juggernaut, turn to expert Sinologists Alex Mackinnon and Barnaby Powell. Their book may not be terribly original, but it examines modern-day China from multiple important perspectives. getAbstract recommends this book to those who want to understand the economic reality of China today and in the future – beyond the cardboard cutout that Western politicians routinely wheel out to scare their constituents.
