The end of the Cold War was thought to signal the triumph of Western capitalism over communism. In Maonomics: Why Chinese Communists Make Better Capitalists Than We Do, Napoleoni argues just the opposite: what we are witnessing instead is the beginning of the collapse of capitalism and the victory of ‘communism with a profit motive’.
Maonomics charts the prodigious ascent of the Chinese economic miracle and the parallel course of the West’s ongoing insistence on misconstruing China and its economy even as we acknowledge its growing influence and importance. Napoleoni offers a front-row seat at the greatest show on earth: the peaceful economic revolution that is shifting the balance of power in the world from West to East.
“Timely and fascinating, Napoleoni’s top-notch reporting, in which her attention turns from Viagra to blood diamonds in a few pages, works in the vein of Freakonomics, but much grimmer. — Publishers Weekly
Loretta Napoleoni has published three bestselling books on economics. She will be touring Australia in October 2011.
