An expose on how the rise of China will affect the American way of life The End of Cheap China is a fun, riveting, must-read book not only for people doing business in China but for anyone interested in understanding the forces that are changing the world. Many Americans know China for manufacturing cheap products, thanks largely to the country's vast supply of low-cost workers. But China is changing, and the glut of cheap labor that has made everyday low prices possible is drying up as the Chinese people seek not to make iPhones, but to buy them. Shaun Rein, Founder of the China Market Research Group, puts China's continuing transformation from producer to large-scale consumer - a process that is farther along than most economists think - under the microscope, examining eight megatrends that are catalyzing change in China and posing threats to Americans' consumption-driven way of life. Rein takes an engaging and informative approach to examining the extraordinary changes taking place across all levels of Chinese society, talking to everyone from Chinese billionaires and senior government officials to poor migrant workers and even prostitutes. He draws on personal stories and experiences from living in China since the 1990s as well as hard economic data. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of China's transformation, from fast-improving Chinese companies to confident, optimistic Chinese women to the role of China's government, and at the end breaks down key lessons for readers to take away. The End of Cheap China shows: How rising labor and real estate costs are forcing manufacturers of cheap Chinese products to close, relocate, or move up the value stream How a restructuring economy moving away from exports to domestic consumption, and rising incomes will create opportunities for foreign brands to sell products in China rather than just producing there How Chinese consumption will build pressure on the global commodities markets, causing both inflation and friction with other nations How China's economic transformation spells the end of cheap consumption for Americans China's days as a low cost production center are numbered. The End of Cheap China exposes the end of America's consumerist way of life and gives clear advice on how companies can succeed in the new world order.

The end of cheap China.這是我這一輩子所閱讀的第二本全英文的書籍。我是抱著學英語的目的從學校圖書館藉來瞭這本書——既談中國、又談經濟,都是我熟悉的內容,應該可以相對少的碰到生詞。我閱讀過的第一本全英文書籍是伯恩斯坦所著《The precondition of Socialism》,即"社...
評分Mostly the author stays in megacities or 1st/2nd tier cities. If he visits 3rd or even lower level cities, villages and so on, his theories and stores could be completely irrelevant. Intentionally or surprisingly he visited and interviews many Chinese femal...
評分Shaun Rein (中文名:雷小山), China Market Research Group的創始人,此書其實就是Shaun在中國行走十幾年的見聞錄。雖說頂著《廉價中國的終結》這個書名,但其實書中談終結的部分很少,更多的是中國各種社會現象。 開篇即講廉價勞動力這個問題,若是身處製造業零售業的同...

圖書標籤: 中國經濟 china 經濟 消費 英文原版 策略 社會 消費心理
語言生動引人,內容涵蓋範圍很廣,包括勞動力漲價,女性消費的崛起,地方政府和中央政府的矛盾,房地産市場,教育,對非洲投資以及新興富貴階層的奢侈消費。錶麵看上去很像一部外國人在中國二十幾年的個人經曆。其實際的結構是通過各個層麵中中國人的生活變化反應這二十年間生産及消費習慣的改變。所論證的中國廉價消費的終結很大程度上是由於生産成本上漲和消費需求的提高所引起的通脹,而並非創新所帶來的技術升級和産業優化。另外,作者在感情上相對同情中央政府。
評分A collection of topics and events hot in the Chinese media. The analysis/views are generally based on the author's personal and business experiences. Somehow the book makes me feel its title and contents are somewhat mismatched. IMHO, 'd be best described as a how-to book for foreigners to have a jumpstart of doing biz and finding biz opp in China.
評分朋友寫的書,推薦。
評分沒有太多新東西。對中國政府的感情比我深,對未來中國比我樂觀。開篇與結尾比較彆緻,都提到瞭我們長春。98年的長春是個DINGY CITY,長春小姐STUNNING且Twenty DOLLARS。
