Karl Siegling recently wrote a resources article for the ASX where he noted “Readers may remember the resources mantra of ‘stronger for longer’ from around 2002 until 2007, initially the story was one of China growth. As the resource boom continued the mantra evolved to ‘stronger forever’ and included India so that the combined mantra became ‘Chindia, stronger forever”. No sooner had the ink dried on this book that the Global Financial Crisis came along. This book is a very good introduction to both China and India and how they have and continue to redefine world business and influence international trade all over the world. This book is factually based with Pete Engardio, a senior writer for BusinessWeek, drawing a lot on BusinessWeek’s analysis and reports. Definitely well worth reading.
