BY MICHAEL WESLEY, PAGES: 224, PRICE: 499, BLOOMSBURY The world has never seen economic development as rapid or significant as Asia’s during recent decades.

The book examines the economic, social, political and strategic trends across the world’s largest continent and presents a roadmap for thinking about Asia’s future, and the world.
