Download The Elephant and the Dragon: The Rise of India and China, and What It Means for All of Us AudioBook Free

In China, men in Mao jackets pedal bicycles along newly built highways, past skyscrapers sprouting like bamboo. Yet exotic India is really as near as the voice answering an 800 number for just one dollar an hour. Communist China is really as close as the nearest Wal-Mart, its shelves packed with goods made in Chinese factories. Not since the USA rose to prominence a century ago have we seen such tectonic shifts in global power; but India and China are vastly different nations, with opposing economical and political strategies-strategies we should understand to be able to survive in the new global economy. The Elephant and the Dragon tells how both of these Asian nations, each with more than a billion people, have spurred a fresh "gold rush," and what this will mean for the rest of the world.
