During that time, Asia will surpass the \u003ci\u003ecombined\u003c\/i\u003e strength of North America and Europe in economic might, population size, and military spending. Both India and China will have vetoes over many international decisions, from climate change to global trade, human rights, and business standards. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom her front row view of this colossal shift, first at the State Department and now as an advisor to American business leaders, Anja Manuel escorts the reader on an intimate tour of the corridors of power in Delhi and Beijing. Her encounters with political and business leaders reveal how each country's history and politics influences their conduct today. Through vibrant stories, she reveals how each country is working to surmount enormous challenges--from the crushing poverty of Indian slum dwellers and Chinese factory workers, to outrageous corruption scandals, rotting rivers, unbreathable air, and managing their citizens' discontent. \"Incisive...lively and accessible...Manual shows us that an optimistic path is possible: we can bring China and India along as partners\" (\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe wring our hands about China, Manuel writes, while we underestimate India, which will be the most important country outside the West to shape China's rise.
