“China Shakes the World,” a book about the business and economic implications of the China economy, won the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs competition for Best Business Book of the Year.
The book was written by James Kynge, a former Financial Times reporter. Other finalists were Fast Company writer Charles Fishman for “The Wal-Mart Effect” and Chris Anderson for “The Long Tail.” FT reporter Andrew Hill wrote, “Mr Kynge, a journalist in Asia for two decades and a former Beijing bureau chief for the FT, four other authors for the prize. One of the seven judges, Lloyd Blankfein, chairman and chief executive of Goldman Sachs, said: ‘China is changing the world and James Kynge’s book captures the essence of that change.’
“Jeffrey Garten, professor of international trade, finance and business at Yale School of Management and another member of the jury, said the book ‘revealed the complexity and scale of what’s happening [in China] in a way that is gripping.’
“The FT and Goldman Sachs award is presented annually to the book that has provided ‘the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues.”
