@michaelxpettis 4)areas, forced to pay for very expensive and often inadequate schooling for their children, health care, and retirement. If China invested much more in education, social security and medical care, it could raise its chances of making a transition to a higher skilled and higher

@PaulSmall4eva @JohnHMcWhorter When I visited Charleston in 2012, there was a shockingly small exhibit on slavery at the premier historical museum, which listed the number of blacks arriving in early Charleston history, under the heading of "forced immigration" of agricultural labor."

@JohnHMcWhorter 2)First, a book assigned as class reading when I was a graduate student of history in 1977, which simply described the Trail of Tears as "a relocation of the Cherokee to Oklahoma." Not only was this absurdly inaccurate and insufficient for an academic work of history, but...

@adam_tooze Tooze's Chartbook 228 is a must read. Having recently read Schell and Delury's Wealth and Power, and Rozelle's, Invisible China, this is particularly welcome. But the disconnect between govt. policy, markets, and labor is THE story around the world.
