The basic point of this book is that politics screws around with economics more than you think. The books is extremely pro free trade and free markets and has a lot of good examples to back itself up. I thought that everything was well researched and the arguments were very coherent. It was a little slow, and I didn't particularly like the style of writing....less

This was probably the best book on China I've read so far. It may have been because it was the first book on China economics I read, but I don't think so. It was interesting, well written, contained lots of great insights, and very informative. It is 2 years old and on the China timescale that may make it outdated, but I would still definitely recommend it to anyone about to move to China or interested in the economics over here. ...less

This was book basically a wannabe Freakonomics. There were a lot of interesting topics and things that made you think. Except the topics he talked about were not that really relevant or useful. And whereas Freakonomics backed everything up with empirical proof and extensive research, this book was entirely done from his armchair. Moreover, his logic was at times a little dubious, and at times I just disagreed. His title sucks, and makes you believe that the only reason he wrote this book was to make a few bucks. ...less
