Made in China

Elizabeth Ingleson's book delves into the pivotal period of the 1970s, when the United States and China ended their Cold War isolation, leading to a convergence of interests that transformed China into a source of cheap labor and a key component of global capitalism.

The book highlights the roles of Chinese policymakers, US diplomats, entrepreneurs, and major corporations in this transformation, which was influenced by factors such as deindustrialization in the US and China's economic reorganization.
