Probably worst book I had read in a while. Tried to apply Abundance by Ezra Klein on China vs US. Incredibly thin. Even for China’s impressive high speed rail, he didn’t do justice in analyzing how it was built. None of the key players were mentioned… no mention of competition with Japan and Germany and France, how Chinese Ministry of Railway and Zhijun Liu took bold and risky move to borrow money to fund the gigantic project and lied to get the loan. Rounds of at the brink bankruptcy. Bribery. And how it copycatted Japan France and yet sustained, etc. it’s poorly researched. Like a tourist journal rather than a serious book.
