编辑推荐 Nicholas Platt, President, Asia Society "An eyes-wide-open look at modern Shanghai, its past roots, as well as present achievements, hang-ups and shortcomings. Balanced, detailed, and carefully researched by a perceptive and expert journalist,
New Shanghai is essential background for any foreigner who needs to understand the challenges and opportunities of life and work in a China grappling with rapid change."
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, author of World Class "Pamela Yatsko is the best guide I can imagine to the New China emerging in the global information age. Seeing Shanghai through her sharp eyes is better than a personal tour, because she digs behind the scenes to find the meaning of the changes sweeping China, as well as the unfinished work still ahead for the cities shaping China's future.
New Shanghai is insightful, illuminating, comprehensive, and entertaining. This is a 'must read' for anyone interested in doing business in China and throughout Asia."
Sheila Melvin, Director, Shanghai Operations, the US-China Business Council "Shanghai's shimmering new skyline is as misleading as it is beguiling.
New Shanghai takes you behind the glitz and the glamor and into the lives of ordinary workers, the dealings of shady stock traders and the decisions of an efficient, but surprisingly conservative, bureaucracy. It is a book to be savored by anyone who has ever been to Shanghai, or even just dreamed of it."
Seth Faison, former Shanghai Bureau Chief, The New York Times "With a wide-ranging book that tackles business, politics and culture, Pamela Yatsko delivers what so many readers have been unable to find elsewhere: an engaging book that puts all the complex and contradictory elements of China into perspective. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what is going on in China today."
Huang Yasheng, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School "Pamela Yatsko provides a fascinating look at a city that illustrates so well the travails of China's past and the prospects of its future. In this book, Yatsko places her personal insights gained through years of covering Asia as a journalist in the context of the larger economic and political trends in the region. The research is meticulously done and the analysis is superb. I recommend it to China experts as well as to people who are new to the region."
EuroBusiness, March 2001 "
New Shanghai provides tremendous insight into the renaissance occurring in this incredible city and is a 'must read' for anyone interested in doing business in China and throughout Asia."
