Synopsis China economics expert and policy wonk Zachary Karabell argues convincingly that the symbiotic relationship between China and America (or "Chimerica," as he calls it) is the most important economic story of the last forty years, and will continue to have wide-ranging ramifications on the successes and failures of the next forty. His finely researched and surprisingly readable book, SUPERFUSION, describes the history of China's slow emergence from under the shadow of Mao's inscrutable policies, its gradual embrace of capitalism in the 1980s when a few far-sighted U.S. business in began to cultivate the markets and possibilities, to its present, as it marches towards becoming the largest economy in the world. With GM selling more cars in China than in the U.S., and the U.S. dollar precariously linked to China's currency, the complicated relationship between the two nations has the potential for great opportunity and for devastating collapse.
