Prescott, Nobel Prize Laureate in Economic Sciences * A fine reflection on China's rise, offered with neither fear nor favor but in the pragmatic spirit that is Professor Kolodko's stock-in-trade. * James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin * Greg Kolodko analyzes in this insightful book the economic, political and social implications of China's rejuvenation... The book is essential reading on a subject of the highest importance in the early 21st century. -- Justin Yifu Lin, Dean, Institute of New Structural Economics, Peking University, Former Chief Economist, the World Bank Grzegorz Kolodko has written a concise, erudite, balanced and perceptive book on the global implications of China's unstoppable rise. We are moving, inescapably, into a multi-polar and multi-cultural world. We must embrace this future. The notion of a new cold war with China is folly. Mutual respect and co-operation offer humanity its only tolerable future. * Martin Wolf, Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times *
