Two more books
Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 2:52AM Finally finished Elizabeth Economy's A River Runs Black on enviro damage in China. Took a few days on the elliptical trainer.
Today I read Harry G. Broadman's World Bank report, Africa's Silk Road: China and India's New Economic Frontier. A fabulous book that justifies like crazy a bunch of things I've been saying for years on Asia being the logical extender of globalization there (including a recent column, yes?). Like most WB books, you highlight every word in the most excellent overview and then skim the rest (heavy data). Also like all crappy WB pubs, the spine split immediately upon opening, despite my attempts to relax it (a trick my brother Jerry taught me years ago). Deep thanks to Lexington Green on this recommendation!
