The Elephant and the Dragon
This book has been translated by Dar Al-Ahlia
“A comprehensive primer on the development of these Asian tigers.”―Noam Lupu, San Francisco Chronicle
The Elephant and the Dragon is the essential guide to understanding how India and China are reshaping our world.
With labor now unbound from geographic borders, we’re seeing startling shifts in how―and where―nearly everything we buy is made.
In a compelling mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, veteran journalist Robyn Meredith untangles the complex web of business and politics, as well as environmental and cultural issues that entwine India, China, and the West.
She also outlines how Americans―business leaders, workers, politicians, even parents―can understand the vast changes coming and thrive in this new age.
In the streets of India, camels pull carts loaded with construction materials, and monkeys race across roads, dodging cars.
In China, men in Mao jackets pedal bicycles along newly built highways, past skyscrapers sprouting like bamboo.
Yet exotic India is as near as the voice answering an 800 number for one dollar an hour.
Communist China is as close as the nearest Wal-Mart, its shelves full of goods made in Chinese factories.
Not since the United States rose to prominence a century ago have we seen such tectonic shifts in global power; but India and China are vastly different nations, with opposing economic and political strategies we must understand in order to survive in the new global economy.
The Elephant and the Dragon tells how these two Asian nations, each with more than a billion people, have spurred a new “gold rush,” and what this will mean for the rest of the world.
