“Americans need not be hostile toward China's rise, but
they should be wary about its eventual effects. The United
States is the only nation with the scale and power to try
to set the terms of its interaction with China rather than
just succumb. So starting now, Americans need to consider
the economic, environmental, political, and social goals
they care about defending as Chinese influence grows.”
—from “China Makes, the World Takes” Since December 2006, The Atlantic Magazine's James Fallows
has been writing some of the most discerning accounts of
the economic and political transformation occurring in
China. The ten essays collected here cover a wide-range of
topics: from visionary tycoons and TV-battling
entrepreneurs, to environmental pollution and how China
subsidizes our economy. Fallows expertly and lucidly
explains the economic, political, social, and cultural
forces at work turning China into a world superpower at
breakneck speed. This eye-opening and cautionary account is
essential reading for all concerned not only with China's
but America's future role in the world.
