Summary

China Growth Engine examines how China transformed into a global economic powerhouse in a few decades. It delves into the country's economic reforms, manufacturing dominance, and global investment strategies. The book argues China's success stems from a unique combination of state-led development and strategic global integration. For instance, the establishment of Special Economic Zones facilitated foreign investment and spurred economic activity.

 
The book explores China's economic development systematically, starting with pre-reform era context to highlight the magnitude of Deng Xiaoping's reforms. It then analyzes China's manufacturing capabilities and its global investment strategy, like the Belt and Road Initiative. The book uses empirical evidence and interviews to provide a balanced assessment of China's economic performance and acknowledges ongoing debates such as the role of state-owned enterprises.

 
The book adopts a fact-based approach, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in economics and politics. It progresses by first establishing key themes, then focusing on economic reforms, followed by analyzing China's manufacturing prowess, and finally investigating China's global investment strategy. This approach offers a holistic view of China's economic trajectory and its impact on the world.

Paranoia: A Journey Into Extreme...

Daniel Freeman

'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS
'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR
What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome?
Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.
For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.
He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.
This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all.
Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients.
For fans of Lucy Johnstone (Users and Abusers of Psychiatry), Esmé Weijun Wang (The Collected Schizophrenias), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Dr Joseph Jebelli (The Brain at Rest), and Paul Gilbert (CFT Made Simple).
