Recommendation
As China became the world’s manufacturing center, millions of Western factory workers lost their jobs, yet countless Western consumers benefit from cheaper Chinese goods. India handles much of US companies’ back-office work. While this puts Western white-collar employees out of work, it allows Western companies to operate more efficiently, delivering increased value to investors. Robyn Meredith, a foreign correspondent at Forbes and a Hong Kong resident, discusses the positives and negatives of the ascension of China and India. Though this treatise hasn’t benefitted from the passage of time, getAbstract recommends Meredith’s work, with its resemblance to the Silk Road, where every stop is exotic, accessible and interesting.
