Resumen del Editor
The Chinese economy appears destined for failure, the financial bubble forever in peril of popping, the real estate sector doomed to collapse, the factories fated for bankruptcy.
Banks drowning in bad loans. An urban landscape littered with ghost towns of empty property. Industrial zones stalked by zombie firms. Trade tariffs blocking the path to global markets. And yet, against the odds and against expectations, growth continues, wealth rises, international influence expands. The coming collapse of China is always coming, never arriving.
Thomas Orlik, a veteran of more than a decade in Beijing, turns the spotlight on China's fragile fundamentals and resources for resilience. Drawing on discussions with communist cadres, shadow bankers, and migrant workers, Orlik pieces together a unique perspective on China's past, present, and possible futures.
Mapping possible scenarios, Orlik games out what will happen if the bubble that never pops finally does. The magnitude of the shock to China and the world would be tremendous. For those in the West nervously watching China's rise as a geopolitical challenger, the alternative could be even less palatable.

Financial crises happen time and again in post-industrial economies - and they are extraordinarily damaging.

A Brief History of Doom examines a series of major crises over the past 200 years in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and China - including the Great Depression and the economic meltdown of 2008.

China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic growth story of the last three decades. In the 1980s, China was an impoverished backwater, struggling to escape the political turmoil and economic mismanagement of the Mao era. Today it is the world's second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world's steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America.

Historia
The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: War, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching - and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk.

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, as the world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame what happened on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In Fault Lines, Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are also to blame, and warns that a potentially more devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed.

Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks, which together control assets amounting to more than 60 percent of the country's gross domestic product, these financial institutions (now more emphatically "too big to fail") continue to hold the global economy hostage.

Historia
The years since the Great Crisis of 2008 have seen slow growth, high unemployment, falling home values, chronic deficits, a deepening disaster in Europe - and a stale argument between two false solutions, “austerity” on one side and “stimulus” on the other. Both sides and practically all analyses of the crisis so far take for granted that the economic growth from the early 1950s until 2000 - interrupted only by the troubled 1970s - represented a normal performance.

In Putinomics, Chris Miller examines the making of Russian economic policy since Vladimir Putin took power in 1999. Miller argues that Putin's economic strategy has functioned far more effectively than most Westerners realize. While acknowledging that part of Putin's successes - above all, quadrupling per capita GDP in just a decade and a half - can be attributed to cashing in on high oil prices, Miller details the government policies that have also been fundamental to Russia's growth.

A national best-seller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined - and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

Award-winning professor Timothy Taylor here tackles all the key questions and hot topics of both microeconomics and macroeconomics, so you can understand and discuss economics on a personal, national, and global level.

Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China over seventy years ago, five paramount leaders have shaped the fates and fortunes of the nation and the ruling Chinese Communist Party: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. Under their leaderships, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation from an undeveloped and insular country to a comprehensive world power. In this definitive study, renowned Sinologist David Shambaugh offers a refreshing account of China's dramatic post-revolutionary history through the prism of those who ruled it.

The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the twenty-first century. But both history and China's current trajectory suggest that this rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s. The Chinese challenge will most likely prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believe—but during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real.

How can poor and weak societies escape poverty traps? Political economists have traditionally offered three answers: "stimulate growth first," "build good institutions first," or "some fortunate nations inherited good institutions that led to growth." Yuen Yuen Ang rejects all three schools of thought and their underlying assumptions: linear causation, a mechanistic worldview, and historical determinism. Instead, she launches a new paradigm grounded in complex adaptive systems, which embraces the reality of interdependence and humanity's capacity to innovate.

Historia
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China over seventy years ago, five paramount leaders have shaped the fates and fortunes of the nation and the ruling Chinese Communist Party: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. Under their leaderships, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation from an undeveloped and insular country to a comprehensive world power. In this definitive study, renowned Sinologist David Shambaugh offers a refreshing account of China's dramatic post-revolutionary history through the prism of those who ruled it.

The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the twenty-first century. But both history and China's current trajectory suggest that this rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s. The Chinese challenge will most likely prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believe—but during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real.

Historia
How can poor and weak societies escape poverty traps? Political economists have traditionally offered three answers: "stimulate growth first," "build good institutions first," or "some fortunate nations inherited good institutions that led to growth." Yuen Yuen Ang rejects all three schools of thought and their underlying assumptions: linear causation, a mechanistic worldview, and historical determinism. Instead, she launches a new paradigm grounded in complex adaptive systems, which embraces the reality of interdependence and humanity's capacity to innovate.

The West's strategy of engagement with China has failed. More than three decades of trade and investment with the advanced democracies have left that country far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been. But growth and development have not caused China's rulers to relax their grip on political power, abandon their mercantilist economic policies, or accept the rules and norms of the existing international system.

Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare.

Communist China is ambitious. It wants to replace the United States as the world’s leading superpower. And it is well on its way. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master at intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a cold war on the United States and its Asian allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and decline, that cold war is about to turn hot.

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years.

The Party is Financial Times reporter Richard McGregor's eye-opening investigation into China's Communist Party, and the integral role it has played in the country's rise as a global superpower and rival to the United States. Many books have examined China's economic rise, human rights record, turbulent history, and relations with the US; none until now, however, have tackled the issue central to understanding all of these issues: how the ruling communist government works. The Party delves deeply into China's secretive political machine.

Interesting subject matter. Doesn’t lend itself to audio.
The book references many numbers and charts, all of which are hard to process and keep track of in audio form. I listened to 4 chapters then gave up and ordered the book. The reader also sounded robotic and pronounced certain words very strangely (I.e. yuan and debt) which made me think that it really might be a robot. Overall, didn’t enjoy the experience but was interested in the content.

Non-stop facts, no real explanation
Lots and lots of facts and anecdotes with no real direction, explanations, or predictions. the whole book feels like a collection of articles he pieced together into a book.

Good book, subpar narration
Lots of insights into Chinese economics and comes across as candid and unbiased. However I did not enjoy the narrator, who read every sentence in the tone of someone who was reading a newspaper headline. What was really intolerable was his seemingly arbitrary choices for pronouncing Chinese names like "Chongqing" and "Xi Jinping" (which he pronounced "Si Jinping").

Enjoyably frustrating
The material is great and an illuminating look into the China situation that no one has bothered to give it seems. The performance was rough. For sure has a voice for audiobooks but no one bothered giving the reader any training on how to pronounce any of the Chinese words. Forget about the names of state officials being butchered every time yuan came up in the text and the VO had to read it I cringed and it being a book about China's economy of course its currency is going to come up a lot and you are going to be beat over the back of the head with the cringe of it being mispronounced over and over again. Surely they have a director for these things or an editor. No one bothered to fix that and left the narrator hanging like that or didn't bother to go "lets do that take again." Great book just bad audio book.

Clear-eyed take on complexities of China's economy
Tom Orlik is a respected go to for smart China analysis. This book captures deep complexities and explains them at least as clearly as anything else I've read, and I've read widely on the topic because of my profession. This is economics as written and explained by a journalist--much less dry than it could be, lots of nice anecdotes, snapshots of life, and bits of history woven throughout. It is a good read for understanding how China's economy is out of sync with other major economies and why it's leaders have chosen to keep it that way. It also explains both the pitfalls and risks for China in its economic model as well the strengths, and why economic crisis in China would spell trouble for everyone else. The narration is great, except for some off pronunciations of Chinese names, but that's tricky for anyone who hasn't studied Chinese, and this narrator did a better job than most.

Sadly Disappointed
First of all, whoever came up with the title is a GENIUS, (at least at tittles). China IS the bubble that never pops, (so far).
This book is packed with detailed facts that can be useful as background information. I did not realize how many dynamic ups and downs the Chinese economy had. That was reasonably useful. There were some detailed stories describing the ins and outs of the Chinese growth path.
But here’s the problem, what insights did I get from the book? It ends with the brilliant insight that, “with an economy the size of China’s, it’s never too late”. REALLY?!!!! That’s your powerful ending??
REALLY?!!!!
Why is there so much empty, vapid literature out there today?!!
The author spent how long writing this book? 1, 2, 3 years? And what did he come up with? One long, endless string of names, dates and events.
There was no arch of history in this book, no emerging understanding of how and why China is where it is, no clear conclusion of where the superpower competition may go.
I could have gotten 85% of this information reading Business Week. I did already know 95% of the Broad Strokes by watching CNBC, Bloomberg and YouTube videos from Joesph Stiglitz, Ray Dalio and Steven Kotkin. (By the way, I just started reading my subscription to Business Week. OMG!! So, many one-inch deep articles! I didn’t realize. No deep thought there either. I’ll read a couple more issues and probably cancelled THAT subscription.)
I HAD to read, (listen to), this book, because of the Brilliant title. Sadly, the “book” itself LITERALLY could have been created by copying from detailed dispatches of the previous mentioned mainstream sources plus NY Times and South China Morning Post stories.
Missed opportunity.
There’s a guy named Dan Carlin who creates a podcast called Hard-Core History. His four 2-hour plus episodes on Rome’s Punic Wars where they eventually obliterated their nemesis Carthage were Fascinating!
Instead of the the endless event, date, name, monotone that history books in American schools use, he took a Cecil B. DeMille approach that described the epic battles of Hannibal, Fabius Maximus the Delayer and Scipio Africanus as the Epic, Life Shattering struggles they were! And while it was short of the excessive facts and figures of this book, I clearly remember all of the characters, the intense Battle of Lake Trasimene and the deeply Horrifying description of at the Battle of Cannae. (Von Clausewitz called Total Encirclement impossible, which is difficult to reconcile with the fact that Hannibal actually did it)
I LEARNED from those stories. I can talk about them like I was THERE, the way I can talk about the battles between Microsoft and Apple and the Open Source Community and how Cisco wiped out the telecom manufacturers in the 80’s and 90’s because I WAS there, in business, at that time.
I got none of that insight from this book. I got no context to allow me to visualize and understand the Chinese-American-World interplay.
Instead, I got an endless stream of facts and figures that gave me maybe 20% of the insight I was looking for. I have already forgotten most of the facts and figures that this book vomited onto the table in front of me.
The most dynamic growth story since the rise of the American superpower at Bretton Woods and the drama, insight and excitement was all drained away from the story.
Another major complaint: I had to constantly rewind. The author jumped from city to city and timeframe to timeframe. One minute he’s was in 2017, the next in 2011 and because I was really trying to get something out of this, I was constantly saying, “Wait what year is this? Are you referring to the 2008 financial meltdown in the US or the Asian meltdown down un the 90’s, (was it the 90’s? I can’t remember). I had to work very hard to stay with the plot line.
At least it’s over. Except for the fact that I felt compelled to waste another 60+ minutes writing this review, when I should have been working out!!
If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have wasted my time reading this book. I would have stayed focused on the truly Great and useful book I’m also reading, “Guns, Germs, and Steel”.
Sadly, if you pay any attention to the news in China, this is not a book worth reading.
P.S. The reader has a fantastic voice. But while it was deep and authoritative, it tended to follow the endless monotone of the text. I found it very relaxing to fall asleep to.

Illuminating, all through
There is a great mix of economics, finance, and pertinent history here. I feel for the first time I have a grasp of the current overall picture of what China faces (though lacking in Belt and Road particulars, and latest updates including post-COVID scene). I found the narration excellent, and had no trouble ignoring the occasional mispronunciations (particularly, of "Xi"). Both USA and China have plenty of potentially troubling plates spinning!

Orlik should be ashamed of himself
Tom Orlik has provided a very valuable recount and analysis of his time covering China. Unfortunately he has left the audio book to a reader who does his best to mispronounce every Chinese name and term mentioned. This is a book about China, so that's a lot of butchering. Unforgivable.
