The China Price The True Cost of Chinese Competitive Advantage
New York. Penguin. 2008, Stock ID #167237 This book is a landmark investigation of the unsavory by-products of the global consumer's voracious appetite for cheap goods. A generation of Chinese flocked from the rural interior of the country to its coastline, where its factory work largely is, in one the the largest mass migrations in human history. But that migration is slowing dramatically, in no small part because of the widespread disenchantment with the way of life many factories offer. Managing the tumult of change is the greatest challenge China faces in the near future, and managing its impact on the world economy is the challenge that faces us all. No one - not even the almighty consumer - can get something for nothing. Ultimately, we all pay the China price. When referring to this item please quote stockid 167237.
