When he first visited Beijing in 1975, Orville Schell noticed a country that lacked advertisements, private cars and private property. Today, China possesses the world’s second largest economy. Schell, the director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society, and his co-author John Delury, a senior fellow at the Center, discuss how China rapidly climbed the global economic ladder in their new book, “Wealth and Power: China’s Long March to the Twenty-First Century.” They join us in the studio.

Guests:

Orville Schell, director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York City

John Delury, senior fellow at the Center on U.S.-China Relations, and assistant professor of international studies at Yonsei University
