Negative Positive
Title: long on hyperbole, short on anlysis
Review: the writing is remarkable in its lack of depth, miserly analysis, and inane conclusions. for those serious about understanding china beyond a superficial level, i recommend reading professor alwyn young of the university of chicago. the following is a list of relevant academic papers for the initiated:"The Razor's Edge: Distortions and Incremental Reform in the People's Republic of China." Quarterly Journal of Economics 115 (November 2000): 1091-1135."Gold into Base Metals: Productivity Growth in the People's Republic of China during the Reform Period." Journal of Political Economy 111 (December 2003): 1220-1261."The Tyranny of Numbers: Confronting the Statistical Realities of the East Asian Growth Experience." Quarterly Journal of Economics 110 (August 1995): 641-680.
