In this magisterial new work, Giovanni Arrighi shows how China's extraordinary rise invites us to reassess radically the conventional reading of The Wealth of Nations. He examines how recent US attempts to create the first truly global empire were conceived to counter China's spectacular economic success Now America's disastrous failure in Iraq has made the People's Republic of China the true winner in the US War on Terror.China may soon become again the kind of noncapitalist market economy that Smith described, an event that will reconfigure world trade and the global balance of power.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 33mmItem Weight: 666gGenre: Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
