About this book

"The rise of China and India raises fundamental questions about the world economy and the balance of global geopolitical power. Will China still be a repressive and undemocratic regime, embracing free-market economics only when it suits? What sort of superpower will it be? And what about India, whose economic resurgence is built on a highly educated workforce? David Smith analyses the ways in which the world is tilting rapidly eastward and looks at the implications of the shift in power to Beijing and Delhi - a shift that will creep up on us before we know it." "Most of us have wondered if we should be worried or hopeful. Here at last is a book to help you make up your mind, a book that will leave you knowing more about what to expect: the opportunities and the pitfalls, and the ten ways India and China will - and won't - change the world."--book jacket.
