Elizabeth C. Economy is the C.V. Starr Senior Fellow and Director of Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. An expert on Chinese domestic and foreign policy, her most recent book, with Michael Levi, is By All Means Necessary: How China's Resource Quest is Changing the World.
One of Politico's "Ten Names That Matter on China Policy"
"How should observers, especially those in Washington, assess Xi's
China? In The Third Revolution, Elizabeth Economy offers a nuanced,
persuasive answer: while China's heft in world affairs is growing
rapidly, so too are the contradictions inherent in the attempt of
an authoritarian country to shape what remains a predominantly
liberal world order." -- Global Asia
"Economy . . . offers an engaging look at how areas such as
internet regulation, reform of state-owned enterprises, and foreign
policy are evolving under Xi's leadership." -- Reuters
Breakingviews
"To understand and navigate China in the coming years, this is the
book to read. At the heart of doing business in this opaque and
contradictory country is understanding Xi Jinping, a masterful and
complex politician. Elizabeth Economy's exceptionally clear account
gives you the tools to do just that." -- Fred P. Hochberg, Former
Chairman and President, Export-Import Bank of the United States
"The Third Revolution is enormously valuable for anyone seeking to
understand the ways in which China is changing (and not changing)
under Xi's leadership, and how the U.S. should best approach its
relationship with China. Essential." -- Robert E. Rubin, Former
Secretary of the Treasury
"The one book that tells you all you need to know about how China
has changed under Xi Jinping. A clear-eyed, richly researched, and
engaging account by one of America's most knowledgeable China
experts." -- Susan L. Shirk, University of California, San
Diego
"Timely and sobering analysis of the profound--and
disturbing--political change that has occurred since the rise of Xi
Jinping. This is by far the most insightful and illuminating study
of China's new political landscape, and should be required reading
for those concerned with China's future under strongman rule." --
Minxin Pei, Author, China's Crony Capitalism
"Leading China expert Elizabeth Economy provides a clear-eyed net
assessment of China under Xi Jinping: its global ambitions,
domestic limitations, and the paradox of its external hubris and
internal insecurities. Thoroughly researched and engagingly
written, The Third Revolution should become staple reading for all
who want to understand China today and where it is headed in the
future. The findings are both illuminating and disturbing."
-- David Shambaugh, George Washington University and author of
China Goes Global
"Americans are slowly realizing that they live in a bipolar world
with China, a nation that is incontrovertibly rising despite the
destabilizing effects of serial self-reinvention. The advent of the
latest progenitor of rejuvenation, Xi Jinping, has raised a host of
vexing questions, but Economy's wonderfully lucid and
well-researched book fills in many of the blanks regarding Xi's
strengths and weaknesses." -- Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director,
Asia Society
Center on U.S.-China Relations
"For the first time in modern history, we have a communist country
poised to be the biggest and most important driver of the global
free market. That's astonishing. And we still don't know what makes
China's political leadership and Xi Jinping in particular tick. If
that freaks you out (and it should), Liz Economy's book is the
place to start." -- Ian Bremmer, President and Founder, Eurasia
Group
"The timing of The Third Revolution is impeccable. Economy
convincingly demonstrates how Beijing has used its heft to
influence technological and political standards." - The Financial
Times
"A work of cool-headed analysis." - Foreign Affairs
"The must-read book of 2018. . . . Economy's book traces Xi's
influence and ambitions through an exhaustive reading of his
speeches as well as an astute knowledge of Chinese politics and
policy. It should be required reading not just for China-watchers
but for anyone interested in U.S.-China relations and the future of
world order." - Bloomberg
