"I love reading books like this that show how connected we are in this world and how everything affects something else. It was a very interesting book."
"A great, succinct description of the transformations currently underway in both India and China. I read it while on a trip to Beijing and it really helped me to understand the context of my work here."
"It was and enlightening look at two economies that will greatly affect our world as we move forward. It was written shortly before the Olympics in China and then the economic meltdown in the Fall of 2008, so taking that into consideration is important as it is read now. With so much of our economy depending on Chinese credit, it brings a different angle into the discussion."
