The China Crisis (PDF)

A controversial look at the impending Chinese economic
collapse--the history behind it, its contemporary causes, and
its dire implications for the global economy

All the experts agree: the 21st century belongs to China. Given
America's looming insolvency and the possibility of the collapse of
the U.S. dollar, who can doubt that China is poised to take over
the role of economic superpower? Written by political economist and
leading financial journalist James Gorrie, this book offers a
highly controversial, contrarian view of contemporary China.
Drawing upon a wealth of historical and up-to-the-minute data,
Gorrie makes a strong case that China, itself, is on the verge of
an economic crisis of epic proportions. He explains how, caught in
a recurrent boom/bust cycle that has played itself out several
times over the past sixty years, China is again approaching total
economic and social collapse. But with one important difference
this time: they may very well take the entire global economy down
with them.

making costly and very bloody mistakes on an enormous scale

* One-by-one Gorrie analyzes those critical mistakes and explains

depression

* Describes Chinese "cannibal capitalism," and where its massive
abuse of the country's environment, people, and arable lands is
leading that country and the world economy

* Chronicles China's history of recurring economic crisis and
explains why all the evidence suggests that history is about to
repeat itself
