About this ebook
"A comprehensive primer on the development of these Asian tigers."—Noam Lupu, San Francisco Chronicle The Elephant and the Dragon is the essential guide to understanding how India and China are reshaping our world. With labor now unbound from geographic borders, we're seeing startling shifts in how—and where—nearly everything we buy is made. In a compelling mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, veteran journalist Robyn Meredith untangles the complex web of business and politics, as well as environmental and cultural issues that entwine India, China, and the West. She also outlines how Americans—business leaders, workers, politicians, even parents—can understand the vast changes coming and thrive in this new age.

It is an extremely informative and well researched book written about emerging countries of the world, namely, India and China. The author has very critically analysed the economic and social progress of these two countries and is hopeful that the such a rapid progress may make them most prosperous countries of the world. However, he has pointed out the poverty in rural area, the pollution and the corruption which may hamper their progress. The book is worth reading

A book Which helps us to know the reason why the developed nations are losing out in the field of jobs and the developing nations are getting more and more jobs.
It also tells us that once in a blue moon it happens that jobs are offered from India and China to countries like US.
