Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate across the globe. In China Shakes the World, the former China bureau chief of the Financial Times, James Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to Europe to the Midwest as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food -- and its export of goods, workers, and investments -- drastically reshape world trade and politics.<BR><BR>Delving beyond mere recitation of by-now-familiar statistics, Kynge's on-the-ground reporting provides alternative explanations for China's explosive transformation, revealing many of the usual reasons given for its growth to be myths. Most important for the future, he details China's deep, systemic weaknesses -- rampant fraud, crippling environmental crises, a corrupt banking system, faltering government institutions, a rapidly aging population -- that threaten even greater global disruptions. And he demonstrates the profound consequences of those weaknesses for American manufacturers, oil companies, banks, and ordinary consumers.<BR><BR>Through dramatic stories of entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks at the heart of this global phenomenon, China Shakes the World explains how China's breakneck rise occurred, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both for the twenty-first century. 167188 book 2006 China Shakes the World: A Titan's Rise and Troubled Future -- and the Challenge for America total:141|5:25|4:71|3:35|2:7|1:3| 141 531 219 30 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 22:10:15 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 22:23:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 03:23:52 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 04:38:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 04 05:28:33 -0800 2008 Sun Jun 01 08:05:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 26 06:01:08 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 17 03:59:54 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 26 06:00:58 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 19:35:02 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 18 14:58:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 19 05:57:50 -0800 2007 Mon Oct 29 19:20:15 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 19 05:57:34 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jul 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 15:40:06 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 16:25:58 -0700 2008

Könnte noch klarer strukturiert sein, weil die Mischung aus Fakten, Anekdoten, Zitaten sich zwar flüssig liest, aber zumindest für mich das Merken etwas schwer macht. ]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 13 15:48:39 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 15:49:41 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Jan 18 10:59:37 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 11:00:37 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 11 07:48:25 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 09:25:15 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Oct 01 08:04:03 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 08:06:54 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=411927
