Asia ascending

From The Economist print edition
Three new books examine the rise of China and the rest of Asia, and
draw starkly different conclusions about what this means for the rest
of the world.
CLYDE PRESTOWITZ'S "Three Billion New Capitalists" will make
unhappy reading for Americans. China's growing domination of global
manufacturing and India's booming IT services sector have led to a
shift of skilled jobs from the west to the east. Declining standards in
American schools and government laisser-faire are costing America its
position as a world centre for science and innovation. America's trade
imbalances are putting the dollar under terrible strain. All in all, Mr
Prestowitz argues, the economic transformation of China and India will
mean the demise of America and a looming global economic crisis.
