But just as the West rose, China turned in on itself, and missed the Industrial Revolution. The result was the 'Hundred Years of Humiliation', and a long struggle for a modern, yet distinctly Chinese, civilisational identity. Today, technological innovation has returned to the core of national pride and ambition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince the 1980s, reforms have transformed China into the world's second largest economy and a major global power.

Growing tension between the USA and China could result in the two superpowers decoupling their technology--with significant consequences for humanity's future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Great Decoupling\u003c\/em\u003e shows that this technology contest, and how it plays out, will shape the geopolitics of the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Inkster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787383830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787383838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.30d","brand":"Nigel Inkster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045429178623,"sku":"9781787383838","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e834a200-2ec3-4508-9bb2-cae8888fc28c.jpg?v=1684978695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-decoupling-nigel-inkster-9781787383838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
