The awakening of the Asian giant is having more impact on a global scale than any other phenomenon of our generation. It represents a structural change of unprecedented proportions and speed; the fastest industrial revolution in history that is rebalancing by itself the global stage in the 21st century.
'The awakening of China' provides the reader with a synthetic summary of the Chinese phenomenon from all its dimensions: economic, political and cultural. The author describes the economic reforms undertaken by the new mandarins but at the same time, these changes fits into a larger scheme that includes a historical overview of Chinese civilization, its polity, its culture and its way of thinking. The economic rearmament of the People's Republic is only the tip of the iceberg mind a phenomenon whose implications go far beyond. Indeed, China's industrialization has been accompanied by a process of "Renaissance" social and cultural which is in the early stages. Your correct approach therefore requires an economic analysis but also a philosophical consideration.
The book is an invitation to reflect on what China is in an accessible account that combines the history of the country with hints about its culture, its political institutions and, above all, economic reforms which, in the course of a generation, have transformed a planned, gated and agrarian economy into a market economy, open and industry leading to one of the most unique historical and economic phenomena in mankind history.
