What the U.S. Can Learn from China

Lee (finance & economics, New York Univ.) suggests that the answers to current U.S. economic challenges may be found by examining China's best practices. Her fresh perspective deconstructs negative U.S. attitudes toward China and encourages humility. Her narrative reads like a national self-help book: countries seeking to improve themselves should learn from competition and reformulate good policies. Lee focuses on how the United States can benefit from understanding China's approach to governance, economic policy, and education, including key ideas of meritocracy, strategic planning, and Confucian values. Her foremost desire is to help the two countries work together to create a better world. This title presents a distinct voice in the conversation about the rise of contemporary China and the future of the United States in the global economy.
