Produktbeschreibung
This book unravels the myth of a rising China and a falling American Empire through the eyes of Jin Lan McCann, an American Chinese woman who experienced China's Cultural Revolution, economic reform and its rapid economic development, then immigrated to the United States. Without a college education, she became one of the first millionaires in China, but spent her wealth saving her ex-boyfriend from a sentence of death. After marrying an American lawyer and receiving an economics degree from Wellesley College, she experienced and observed the unbelievable suffering of the American working class and small business owners. She then realized that democracy doesn't necessarily guarantee people's freedom. When people can't grow, they are not free! She identified that the root of modern slavery is big government policies that take away an individual's resources and regulations that tie an entrepreneur's hands. By showing how Taoism and Reaganomics guided China's economic reform and achieved enviable success, she desperately urges Americans to revalue these devalued conservative/ancient wisdoms.
Autorenporträt
Jin Lan McCann, a Chinese woman who experienced China's Cultural Revolution, economic reform and the rapid economic development, then immigrated to the United States. Without a college education, she became one of the first millionaires in China, but spent her wealth saving her ex-boyfriend from a sentence of death. After marrying an American lawyer and receiving an economics degree from Wellesley college, her blog on sina.com, developed 8 years and had over 100,000 readers, received its own death penalty when shut down by the Chinese government. She then realized that she had never been truly free, she could not know she was a chained slave because everyone in that society was brainwashed since birth, and that process never stops. Since then, she spent 5 years to study the modern Chinese history and the society, try to unravel the myths of the modern Chinese history and the so-called Chinese model of development. She also offered her views of the western democracy and believes it will require enormous efforts to withstand the challenges of losing its world leadership position.
