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.\" \u003cbr\u003e--from \"China Makes, the World Takes\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince December 2006, \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e'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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Fallows\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307456242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307456243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2008 pg. 1186\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/17\/2008 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/08\/2009 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/09\/2010 pg. 32","brand":"James Fallows","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437887893759,"sku":"9780307456243","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbb2f52c-f11d-4945-b666-8cca8604b43e.jpg?v=1777167450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postcards-from-tomorrow-square-james-fallows-9780307456243","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
