About this listen

A myth-dispelling, comprehensive guide to the Chinese economy and its path to ascendancy.

China's economy has been booming for decades now. A formidable and emerging power on the world stage, the China that most Americans picture is only a rough sketch, based on American news coverage, policy, and ways of understanding.

Enter Keyu Jin: a world-renowned economist who was born in China, educated in the U.S., and is now a tenured professor at the London School of Economics. A person fluent in both Eastern and Western cultures, and a voice of the new generation of Chinese who represent a radical break from the past, Jin is uniquely poised to explain how China became the most successful economic story of our time, as it has shifted from primarily state-owned enterprise to an economy that is thriving in entrepreneurship, and participation in the global economy.

China's economic realm is colourful and lively, filled with paradoxes and conundrums, and Jin believes that by understanding the Chinese model, the people, the culture and history in its true perspective, one can reconcile what may appear to be contradictions to the Western eye.

What follows is an illuminating account of a burgeoning world power, its past, and its potential future.

The most surprising thing is that my knowledge of China was lacking, almost nonexistent. This stuff should be thought in school - but it isn’t. So, read this book.

Very good narration.
An excellent summary, written by someone with a suitable background to allow comparisons.
It highlights the fact that there are different approaches possible, other than the American model.
Sure China has a chequered history in many respects, but which country doesn't?
And, if it veers sometimes towards a positive view on China, it's about time at least one book did.

Good Balanced/China-Positive Examination of a Different Model

This is the best book about China that I’ve read/listened to. Really clear and refreshingly balanced, yet covers lots of fascinating detail — how paternalism led to the one child policy; how the one child policy affected private savings; how private savings affected the economy; how China fits into the tech revolution and what the country may need to do to adapt to its rapid cultural shift as the new generation steps up.

Brilliant book
