Reboot America: How the Us Can Beat China at Its Own Game

Book excerpt: The world is changing at a rapid pace. China, the most populous nation on Earth is beginning to assert itself, going from strength to strength on the back of its manufacturing juggernaut. On the other hand, the US, the leader of the free world, is in decline being saddled with gargantuan debt, stagnant wages and sluggish growth. This Book paints a grim picture of what a future Chinese led world order would mean, not just for Americans but for us all as world citizens and cautions against getting carried away by the 'the peaceful rise of China' hype. It further examines the critical policy failures of the US and how China is using unfair trade practices and grand theft of American technology, under the guise of globalization, to pull one of the biggest cons ever. Unlike in most other literature on the subject which typically just instills a sense of fear and dread in the reader, concrete suggestions are then proffered on how the US can actually tackle this threat head-on and come back on top.
