More about the book

This updated edition by journalist Ted C. Fishman explores how China is rapidly emerging as a global industrial superpower, posing significant challenges to the American economy. China’s influence is pervasive, impacting news, global economic pressures, workplaces, and consumer experiences. This timely account details the dramatic shift in the world economic order and its implications for everyone. Once hindered by poverty and Communist ideology, China has transformed into the hub of global capitalism, growing three times faster than the United States. The presence of major global companies in China raises critical questions about the future of workers in America, Europe, and beyond. Fishman examines the competitive edge of Chinese corporations and the potential consequences of China dominating the manufacturing of essential goods, from computers to pharmaceuticals, often at half the cost. These developments resonate globally, affecting our lives directly. Fishman provides insightful answers to these pressing questions, urging readers to reconsider their roles as consumers, workers, and citizens. This engaging work combines sharp reportage with astute analysis, fundamentally reshaping perceptions of America's future in a world increasingly defined by China's rise.
