In yesterday's NYT (Saturday 9/26) Tom Friedman had a great column about China and the how and why of what he called "the 18 months that turned Red China into Green China."
I've excerpted the first paragraph here, and the link to the full column is below.
"Most people would assume that 20 years from now when historians look back at 2008-09, they will conclude that the most important thing to happen in this period was the Great Recession. I’d hold off on that. If we can continue stumbling out of this economic crisis, I believe future historians may well conclude that the most important thing to happen in the last 18 months was that Red China decided to become Green China."
The rest of the column can be found here.
It's worth the read.
