review 1: A few quotable titbits and anecdotes in the first half of this otherwise totally meaningless and irrelevant gruel, before it descends into pure farce with "The Chongqing experiment in participation" and stays down there till the end. Leonard is obviously completely ignorant in economics, notably the basics of growth modelling, and has not even bothered to look at the all-important demographics of the country he is writing about - yet that does not prevent him from writing authoritatively about present day China's most important aspect, its economic growth... The same charlatan wrote in 2005 a "Why Europe Will Run The 21st Century", LOL.
review 2: China's geopolitical challenges and its economic evolution are quite common knowledge. It is interesting though to ... morelearn about the ideological debates and political trends within China. Since the country allows one political party, one could easily think that all minds are set the same. None of this true. Within the Communist Party of China one has New Left (focusing on increasing income inequality) and New Right (supporting free market). Regarding foreign policy, China has its own "neocons" and "liberal internationalists". The author rightly states that China's increasing political, economic and military power eventually will lead to more curiosity of the international press and Western governments on the political discussions and consequently, the political direction the country is heading. less
