In this vividly written and compellingly argued book, economist Stephen D. King suggests that the decades ahead will see a major redistribution of wealth and power across the globe that will force consumers in the United States and Europe to stop living beyond their means.
“In this intellectually stimulating and excellently written book, Stephen King explores the implications of the end of western hegemony for the ability of the erstwhile rulers of the world to sustain their standards of living. The rising competition from new players and the growing scarcity of resources will, he argues, squeeze the west hard. It will have to adapt. It will not find it easy to do so.”—Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times
"I’ve not come across another book which so forcefully gives the European or American reader a China-centred view rather than a western-centric one…A disorientating and thought-provoking perspective."— Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist
“Mr. King lays out his arguments in accessible and engaging prose. He is a lively writer with a deft eye for catchy historical analogies.” — The Economist
‘HSBC’s Chief Economist Stephen King spells out in more detail what this shift in global economic power could mean to all of us, in his scary but excellent new book, Losing Control.’ — Stephanie Flanders, BBC Economics Editor
'King writes fluently and well, pepping up his argument with entertaining anecdotes and little-known facts…King will provide a dose of realism.' — Larry Elliot, The Guardian
“….the book is a thought- provoking addition to the recent globalization literature.”—Joel Campbell, International Affairs 87:3
