“What the U.S. Can Learn from China”
Ann Lee, Author, Senior Fellow – Demos
China’s economy is the second largest in the world and many predict it will surpass the United States’ by 2020. Rather than viewing China’s power and influence as a threat, Ann Lee, author of the new book What the U.S. Can Learn from China and a senior fellow at Demos focusing on issues of global economics and finance, asks: What can America learn from its competition?
Following the talk, Ms. Lee will sign copies of her book.
