No country since the rise of the United States has ever challenged the rest of the world on so many fronts as the rise and strengths of China does today. China now leads global production in multiple industries – and in cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing and robotics. China has also embarked on the most ambitious stimulus plan and infrastructure building effort in the world.
China is vastly investing in its education system and scientific research to push the nation and its people to the top of the world economy. The stakes are enormously high for people everywhere. Fishman explores the fundamental drivers of China's push and what the rest of the world must do to keep up, and insure that China's drive creates prosperity at home, in the United States or wherever home may be.
With urgency, humor and insight, Fishman brings China's next stage vividly home.
