Why you should read China and the WTO
This book is a bit unfocused, but even its tangents are interesting. You get a few pages here on Chinese history, a few pages there of polemic about rich nations’ unfair trading practices, here a digression, there a ramble. It’s not completely about China and it’s not completely about the WTO, though those bases are covered, and the other subjects it touches upon - including Asian regional economics - add to its value. The authors put both sides of the debate over trade in reasonably fair focus. getAbstract.com confirms that what they say about China, while not new, merits mulling over by anyone affected by globalization.
