| | The Rise of India and China and What |
| (Embedded image | It Means for All of Us |
| moved to file: | by Robyn Meredith |
| pic30900.jpg) | |
| | 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. |
