“As China Goes, So Goes The World”

23 Jun 2011, Posted by Samantha in current events / news, 0 Comments

If you’re someone who is as keen to learn about everything China as we are, then this is definitely a book that you need to add to your summer reading list. Written by, Karl Gerth, the book gives an objective view of what it means for China and the rest of the world if rapid consumption continues to flourish therein. Will this ultimately be good or bad for the expanding country? What will this mean for the environment? For the country’s heritage? And for its people? The most fantastic part about Gerth’s analysis is that he does not preach reform, protectionism, or otherwise. Instead he shares with us his observations and outlook on the mega-power that is China, and allows us to draw from it what we will. Of course there is room for dissent, but, tell me, what great book has ever lacked that?
