Scott Moore's thought-provoking book wrestles with the most consequential issues of our time: global warming, global pandemics, and rapid technological change. He explores how China's rise has played a pivotal role in all three and makes a strong argument for why enlisting China in addressing them is absolutely vitalDLbut uniquely challenging. Moore makes plain the urgent need for new thinking and new institutions flexible and capacious enough to respond to dynamic, fast-changing challenges. This is a book of big ideas, built on a strong foundation of research and personal experience.
