Summary

It is certainly fair to thank China for all its contributions to the world and its generosity. Especially for Pedro Nueno, professor of management and author of this book, who has found China to be his best ally in promoting higher education and establishing business schools that have contributed to the economic and social development in different countries.
The author reflects on the reasons why China is the only country capable of challenging the economic leadership of the United States of America.

"Thank You, China" is the outcome of these reflections, as well as an analysis of a country that never ceases to amaze us with its capacity to generate employment, its contribution to technological
development, its trade routes and its will to strengthen services such as healthcare, niche tourism, banking and financial services, among others. This is a book about the recent past, present and future of the Asian giant. Its history may provide us with some useful clues about its future: openness to foreign investment, steady pace of growth, and willingness to step in to correct market unbalances. The author concludes that if this trend continues, China will become sooner or later what we all suspect: the world's leading economy, and a true global power.

    Wink and Grow Rich is the fable about a boy being raised by his carpenter father, who is both sick and tired. In fact, he is tired of being sick and sick of being tired. Every day for the last 20 years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, because it is generally accepted by the townsfolk that if they give generously to the Well, it will in turn give generously to them. On this day, the carpenter is so ill that he is unable to visit the Well, so he entrusts his nine-year-old son, Richard, with a crumpled but treasured dollar and sends him in his place. 
    
    Along the way, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where he thought it would be, so he follows a different, more overgrown path, on which he meets an old woman, an optometrist, a plumber, a gardener, a fisherman, a rower, a musician, and an innkeeper. These intriguing and mysterious characters act as guides for Richard and share their wisdom. They have all built their wealth in very different ways, yet there is something about each that is common to all. 
    
    
    The story is intended to make the listener think more deeply about the dynamics of wealth creation. The keys to wealth are contained in the story behind the story, the lesson behind the lesson. To find these keys, the listener needs to become better at "seeing"—a philosophy the author sums up as, "What you see is always what you get."
