The book brings together 'new paradigms' for evaluating the comparative performance of two countries. Essays show that if not outright wrong, conventional wisdom has proven to be overly simplified. The book brings out the complexity and richness of the India-China comparison. 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions 607 $aIndia$xSocial conditions 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 607 $aIndia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a306/.0951 701 $aFriedman$b Edward$f1937-$0865703 701 $aGilley$b Bruce$f1966-$0254401 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449774303321 996 $aAsia's giants$91931992 997 $aUNINA
