Stephen S. Roach has been a thought leader on Wall Street for over thirty years.

His recent research on globalization, the emergence of China and India, and the capital market implications of global imbalances has appeared widely in the international media and in testimony before the U.S. Congress.

"As Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia and a renowned economist,
Stephen Roach has a solid macroeconomics background, in-depth
understanding of the region, rich knowledge of various industries,
and an open mind. In this book, Steve vividly describes the changes
of Asia -- and the driving forces behind those changes。Furthermore,
he brilliantly points out the challenges Asia is facing, as well as
its impacts on the global economy. Asia is reshaping the global
economy in this post-crisis world, and I believe this book provides
us with unique insights as to how this reshaping is playing
out."
—Dr. Zhu Min, Group Executive Vice President, Bank of China
"Stephen Roach has for many years been a uniquely independent voice
among international economic commentators. He was one of the few
who warned that the debt-fuelled 'casino' economy was
unsustainable. His prophetic warnings came to pass in 2008. In his
latest book he issues another warning. Asia's explosive growth has
been based on a 'bet' upon deep integration with the global
economy. Stephen Roach argues that this growth is unsustainable in
the face of the global recession. The region needs comprehensively
to re-balance its economic model if it is to maintain its
remarkable growth. He warns that this will not be easy. Stephen
Roach's book is essential reading for those who hold the
comfortable belief that Asia has 'de-coupled' from the world
economy."
—Prof Peter Nolan, CBE, Sinyi Professor, Judge Business School, and
Chair, Development Studies, University of Cambridge, UK
"... Roach besticht durch eine klare Analyse und verfügt über
spannende Insiderkenntnisse..."
