China’s Broken Economy with Logan Wright
China expert Logan Wright joins Emily and Geoff to talk about China’s broken economy. He explains why the country isn’t going back to high growth rates anytime soon, and what the structural issues driving China’s broken economy mean for U.S. economic and strategic interests. Logan’s new book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the U.S.-China relationship - how we got to where we are and how economic factors will drive the strategic relationship moving forward.
Logan Wright is the author of Broken China: How the Economic Miracle Shattered and What It Means for the World (coming out this week!) and a partner at the Rhodium Group where he leads the China Markets Research work.
