Reviews

This reviewer enthusiastically recommends this thought-provoking volume to the general public, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and professionals. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels. --CHOICE Playing Our Game introduces an argument dubbed institutional outsourcing that provides a fresh, dynamic, and fundamentally optimistic analysis of the forces driving the evolution of the Chinese political and economic systems. Steinfeld brings an unusual combination of talents fully into play--he is one of the very few who understand Chinese politics, Chinese economics, developments in international business, and the deep integration of the three. His book is thought provoking and will be controversial, as any really good book should be. --Kenneth Lieberthal, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution
