Dealing with China
Henry Paulson served as chief executive of Goldman Sachs and then as Treasury Secretary during the 2008 financial crisis, and across both roles he spent years working closely with China's government and business leaders. This 2015 book draws on that experience to explain how China's economy rose so quickly and how its political system shapes its markets. Paulson recounts meetings with top officials, the negotiation of major deals, and the personal relationships that underpinned American engagement with Beijing. He offers his assessment of China's strengths, its risks, and what the United States should understand about working with it. The book mixes memoir with policy analysis and is aimed at readers who want an insider's view of the world's most important economic relationship. It reflects the perspective of someone who helped build many of the early ties between the two countries.
