Description
According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood. In this far-reaching and original investigation, Martin Jacques offers provocative answers to some of the most pressing questions about China's growing place on the world stage.This is the first book to fully conceive of and explain the upheaval that China's ascendance will cause and the realigned global power structure it will create.
Reviews
A convincing economic, political and cultural analysis of waning Western dominance and the rise of China and a new paradigm of modernity. Jacques (The Politics of Thatcherism) takes the pulse of the nation poised to become, by virtue of its scale and staggering rate of growth, the biggest market in the world…As comprehensive as it is compelling, this brilliant audio book is crucial listening for anyone interested in understanding where the we are and where we are going. - Publishers Weekly - Starred Review
Provocative...a fascinating account. - The New York Times
“[A] compelling and thought-provoking analysis of global trends.... Jacques is a superb explainer of history and economics, tracing broad trends with insight and skill.” - The Washington Post
