The Elephant and the Dragon
The Rise of India and China and What It Means for All of Us
by Robyn Meredith
A compelling look at the major changes in store as America faces increasing
competition from two emerging Asian giants.
Not since the United States rose to prominence a century ago have we seen such
tectonic shifts in global power; but India 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. The Elephant and the
Dragon tells how these two Asian nations, each with more than a billion people,
have spurred a new ?gold rush,? and what this will mean for the rest of the
world.
