«China's Megatrends: The 8 Pillars of a New Society» is the essay by John and Doris Naisbitt, published by Harper Business in hardback (272 pages, in English).
John and Doris Naisbitt analyse the social, political and economic transformations of present-day China and their impact on the West. Drawing on travels and interviews with journalists, entrepreneurs, academics and dissidents, they describe eight pillars that would sustain a new model of society and economy, which they call «vertical democracy», and which they see as a challenge to Western democracy.
The book was originally published in 2010 and identifies the eight pillars as the emancipation of the mind, the balance between central and local, and the pattern of «crossing the river by feeling the stones», among others.
Recommended for readers interested in economics, history and China's geopolitical role in the 21st century.
