Indeed, China's growing appetite for primary products, and the ability of Latin America to supply that demand, has played a role in restoring growth in Latin America, both in the run-up to the global financial crisis and in its aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dragon in the room that few are talking about is the fact that China is simultaneously out-competing Latin American manufacturers in world markets--so much so that it may threaten the ability of the region to generate long-term economic growth. One of the authors' key claims is that China is rapidly building the technological capabilities necessary for industrial development, whereas Latin American tech innovation and sophistication lags considerably. At a deeper level, the findings in this volume imply that China's road to globalization, one that emphasizes gradualism and coordinated macro-economic and industrial policies, is far superior to the \"Washington Consensus\" route taken by most Latin American nations, particularly Mexico. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Gallagher,Roberto Porzecanski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080477188X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804771887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Kevin Gallagher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47422706581759,"sku":"9780804771887","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a22e027b-a52f-4916-8704-645c185b904e.jpg?v=1761527961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dragon-in-the-room-kevin-gallagher-9780804771887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
