Lee, Ann

Although Lee is aware of China's shortcomings, she chooses not to address any of China's worst practices. This lack of balance, combined with her foreboding analysis of the U.S. economy, might turn some readers off her well-argued proposals for growth. Recommended for open-minded readers with an interest in economic policy and Sino-American relations.

Although the author has clinical credentials and experience, unfortunately the bulk of the material may float over the heads of more rational, cynical readers looking for pragmatic suggestions that do not require a leap of faith into the world of New Age mysticism.
