      abstract = {Journalist Alex Harney shows how China is able to offer  such amazingly low prices to the rest of the world. What  she has discovered is a brutal world in which intense  pricing pressure from Western companies combines with  corruption and a lack of transparency to exact an unseen  toll in human misery and environmental damage. Despite a  decade of monitoring, foreign businessmen all too often  have no idea of the conditions under which goods they buy  are made. But change is coming. A generation of Chinese  flocked from the rural interior to the coastal factories,  in the largest mass migration in human history--but that  migration has slowed dramatically. As pollution worsens and  infrastructure buckles, and grassroots activism grows,  pressures are mounting that will not dissipate without  profound change. Managing the violence of that change is  China's greatest challenge in the near future, and managing  its impact on the world economy may be ours.--From  publisher description.},
