Not since the United States rose to prominence a century ago have we seen such tectonic shifts in global power; but Ind ia and China are vastly different nations, with opposing economic and political strategies--strategies we must understand in order to survive in the new global economy. This book is the first to compare and contrast how these two Asian nations, each with more than a billion people, are spurring a new "gold rush," and what this will mean for the rest of the world.--From publisher description. 0aGlobalization. 0aChinaxEconomic conditionsy21st century. 0aChinaxForeign economic relations. 0aIndiaxEconomic conditionsy21st century. 0aIndiaxForeign economic relations. 0aUnited StatesxEconomic conditionsy21st century. 0aUnited StatesxForeign economic relations.
