Uprising
Uprising is a magisterial book that looks in detail at China and India―the big players―and also less hyped but crucial markets, including Eastern European countries and Turkey. It takes a comprehensive analysis of everything―from commodity prices to climate change, and from comparative advantage to demographic to provide a compelling analysis of what the future might look like―not just for emerging markets, but for investors, businesses, and economies everywhere.
Praise for Uprising
“A level-headed, reasonable, and fascinating analysis, and a valuable and accessible tool for any investor trying to make sense of the world.”
― Gillian Tett, US Managing Editor, Financial Times
“Anyone interested in the forces shaping the global economy, and our prosperity, should read Uprising.”
― Robert Peston, BBC Business Editor
“Balanced and instructive. For Chinese readers, the book is a mirror through which they can see a clearer image of their own problems. For non-Chinese readers, this is a good handbook on the current state of China’s economy.”
― Professor Yu Yongding, President, China Society of World Economics
“This well-reasoned and informative book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the challenges ahead for emerging countries.”
― Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at NYU Stern School of Business and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics
“Uprising will persuade you that there is much about today’s emerging markets that is still distinctly Third World. If Magnus is right, the ultimate fate of the ‘BRICS’ will not be to rise inexorably, but to drop like, well, bricks.”
― Niall Ferguson, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University
