China Rising: Will the West Be Able to Cope?:The Real Long-Term Challenge of the Rise of China — and Asia in General

Jan Willem Blankert

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Why do some countries get rich and other countries don't? Does one country's gain mean another country's loss? How do we address the biggest challenge of all: the fact that our environment suffers when we all want to have our share of the cake? These key questions in international economics and business are addressed in this timely book. Covering issues such as economic growth, the drivers of economic growth and international competition, pollution and the division of labor, the book focuses on China's emergence, but examples of other countries provide context and perspective. Written in a jargon-free style yet extremely well-researched, it is suitable for economists and non-economists alike.
