Description
CHINA IS MOVING inevitably toward first place in global affairs, ending America's role as top dog. Or so I am told in print and in person, sometimes by those who told me the same thing about Japan two decades ago. I recall a conversation in the immediate aftermath of the Soviet collapse in which I was lectured that if the United States did not immediately institute a Japanese-style system of government-directed industrial policy, "this county will be finished." This, mind you, at the onset of Japan's economic "lost decade." Skepticism is justified about straight-line projections of China's rise, as it was about Japan's. For years I endured blather from many Western leftists (and more than a few on the Right) about the Soviet Union's inevitable triumph. Indeed, I am old enough to recall when it was Germany (then West Germany) that America must emulate or face the scrapheap of history. Fortunately, my first macroeconomic theory professor had taught me that straight-line projections are always wrong.
