Today, India is as near as the voice answering an 800 number for one dollar an hour, and China is as close as the nearest Wal-Mart. 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. This book is the first to compare and contrast how these two Asian nations, each with more than a billion people, are spurring a new "gold rush," and what this will mean for the rest of the world.--From publisher description.… (plus d'informations)

Nothing surprising here. China is the world's factory providing the brawn and the low wal-mart prices whereas India is providing the brain part of the offshoring equation. The author also goes on to list the usual list of issues bedevilling these emerging economic giants, grinding poverty, pollution, primitive banking practices (China), autocratic rule (China), one step forward and two steps back (India).

All said and done, offshoring is a win-win situation for both parties and the author gives several examples to illustrate her point.

The book effortlessly gives the history of India and China's introduction and partnership into the global market and the impact this has had on the United States. It was interesting to learn the why's behind the actions of off-shoring and movement of factories out of the United States (and other countries were listed to a minor degree). It was depressing to learn that while developed countries moved their factories labor pool to less developed countries (India and China), they did not assist in developing sustainable, environmentally safe practices; one would think lessons learned in our backyard would have been taught to the neighbor for the betterment of everyone and innovation for all. While the book tries not be alarmist propaganda, it is very hard to come away from it without having a new found concern for the future of employment in the United States.

While it is well written, it often seems as thought there is a lot of overlap and repeat. Overall, a fast and easy read. ( )

This book covers some of the same material that is contained in the book, The World Is Flat. However, this book zeros in on India (the elephant) and China (the dragon) in more detail. It also spends more time reviewing the future difficulties that will need to be faced. But overall the book has an optimistic tone. Toward the end of the book it makes the case that international trade is a bargain for the USA.

However, this book zeros in on India (the elephant) and China (the dragon) in more detail. It also spends more time reviewing the future difficulties that will need to be faced. But overall the book has an optimistic tone. Toward the end of the book it makes the case that international trade is a bargain for the USA. The book explains that for every dollar that goes overseas, $1.94 of wealth is created, and all but 33 cents of which returns to the U.S. OK, so it may be a current bargain. But is this a stable situation for the future? Somehow it seems that the current situation where China loans money to the USA so that Americans can buy their manufactured products doesn't seem to be a relationship that will last forever.

A lot of interesting facts. Often repetitive and unimpressive writing. Not very penetrating. Holds a dramatically more optimistic view of India than PK. ( )
