This book I found to be extremely informative, deep and well thought out. It is one of the rare books on economic matters that makes you go WOW . It is up-to- date on world events, and the author has obviously read deeply. When I read serious books that I might want to go back to, I mark sections which interest me with coloured pencil, and some books end up with only 3 marked lines for 200 pages, but this book has now quite some markings from start to finish. The book is fantastic on impermanence and change , and the question of China, I would call it a must read for investors and thinkers on inequality or economic history even, for Black Swans land on all of them.
