A Great Leap Forward? investigates the current state of China's economy and the possible futures that could unfold. Presenting a range of perspectives from an all-star cast of China experts,  brought together by the best-selling and renowned economist John Mauldin and Global Macro Strategist Worth Wray, this book digs deep into China's position on the edge of a great transformation or epic disaster and lays out the potential impacts from the world's economy down to your personal portfolio. China's old smokestack economy is overbuilt and awash in debt, with a banking system that may be seriously underwater; at the same time, explosive growth in retail consumption and productivity may be ushering in a new era of growth but can it last? Whether China continues to reach new heights or succumbs to high debt, zombie industries, and a 'de-liquefied' banking system, the outcome will shake the world. This book shows you how to prepare yourself and your portfolio for whatever the next five years may bring.
