Review: Good writing - Good writing. A little too negative though. Maybe the future will show one way or the other! Book arrived early.
Review: As a Prof. of political economy, I teach a freshman seminar on China. This book is perfect for the uninitiated, those who are first learning about China. And, it is a great refresher for those of us who are informed. One of your desertcart reviewers complained that the book is too “negative.” The book is honest and the truth might hurt, but the author’s grip on the material is brilliant.
