Invisible China by Scott Rosell and Natalie Hall

Invisible china by scott rosell and natalie hall is a stunning piece of research about a huge problem that hardly any one knows about. Two thirds of chinese children are rural, and they are doing terribly in school. Many are undernourished or anemic or have intestinal worms that sap their energy and make it hard to concentrate. A third of rural 11 and 12 year olds have poor vision, but no glasses, so they struggle to read their school books. These problems would be laughably cheap to fix. If they aren't fixed, china will struggle to achieve the broad prosperity the government promisesand among the categories must surely be economy and economics.
