Description
"Emerging markets are big news. But after the financial crisis, what does the future really hold for them? And what does this future mean for global business? George Magnus, one of the world's most respected economic analysts, is your guide through the challenges and opportunities for emerging markets and those doing business in them. This magisterial book looks in detail at China and India - the big players - and also less hyped but crucial markets, including Eastern European countries and Turkey. Magnus takes in his sweep everything from commodity prices to climate change, and from comparative advantage to demographic to provide a compelling analysis of what the future might look like - not just for emerging markets, but for investors, businesses and economies everywhere. Uprising is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of the global economy"--

"Balanced and instructive. For Chinese readers the book is a mirror through which they can see a clearer image of their own problems. For non-Chinese readers, this is a good handbook on the current state of China's economy."---Professor Yu Yongding, President, China Society of World Economics"This well-reasoned and informative book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the challenges ahead for emerging countries."---Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at NYU Stern School of Business and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics"For those suffering from advanced Sinoptimism---the belief that China will inevitably take over the world in the 21st century---George Magnus offers a therapeutic scepticism, Elegantly weaving together his unrivalled knowledge of the global financial crisis with his deep understanding of the long-term trends in international development and demography, Magnus lays bare the Asian dragon's many frailties. Uprising will persuade you that there is much about today's emerging markets that is still distinctly Third World. If Magnus is right, the ultimate fate of the `BRICS' will not be to rise inexorably, but to drop like, well, bricks."---Niall Ferguson, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, William Ziegler Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of The Ascent of Money
