Fishman paints a vivid picture of the megatrends radiating out of China. Fishman's account commences with the burgeoning output of China's vast low-cost factories and the swelling appetite of its 1.3 billion consumers, both which are being driven by historically unprecedented infusions of foreign capital and technological know-how. Traveling through China's frenetic landscape of growth, Fishman visits the factories, markets, streets, stores, towns, and cities where the story of Chinese capitalism has been lived by one-fifth of most humanity. Fishman also draws on interviews with Chinese, American, and European workers, managers, and executives to show how China will force all of us to make big changes in how exactly we think about ourselves as consumers, workers, citizens, and even while parents. The result is a richly engaging work of penetrating, up-to-the-minute reportage and brilliant analysis that will forever change how readers think about America's future.
