Reviews

'This book clearly defines the greatest challenge China faces going forward, which is the urgency for China to address the need for ethics in dealing with its own people and with the global community. The book points out that a market economy is based on trust and confidence in the markets. Without building the trust of the Chinese population, failure will follow. The book also highlights China's amazing ability to change and reinvent itself and there is hope that the new generation of Chinese leaders are up to the task.' - David Starling, Chair of Asia Council of the University System of Georgia
