Turen går til Berlin

Clubbing og cocktails. En döner til at pleje tømmermændene med. Af sted til funklende Potsdamer Platz eller Charlottenburg-museerne, inden kreditkortene lyner på Oranienburger Strasse og i luksusmagasinet KaDeWe. Punkere, tyrkere, diplomater, arbejdsløse og tusindvis af unge kunstnere under samme himmel. Har der virkelig stået en mur i den her by?

Turen går til Berlin dækker bydelene Friedrichshain, Mitte, Potsdamer Platz, Spandauer Vorstadt, Prenzlauer Berg, Charlottenburg og Kreuzberg. Fold omslagets forreste flap ud og se bogens områder.

Adam Smith in Beijing - How China Will Rule the World

In the late eighteenth century, the political economist Adam Smith predicted an eventual equalization of power between the conquering West and the conquered non-West. Demonstrating Smith's continued relevance to understanding China's extraordinary rise, Arrighi examines the events that have brought it about, and the increasing dependence of US wealth and power on Chinese imports and purchases of US Treasury bonds. In the 21st century China may well become again the kind of non-capitalist market economy that Smith described, under totally different domestic and world-historical conditions.

"Time Out" Beijing

Beijing is big news. It's not just the Olympics, which the city hosts in 2008 and which China sees as a key opportunity to bag even more gold medals than at previous competitions. As the nerve centre of China's economic boom, whole swathes of the city have become huge construction sites with glass-walled skyscrapers rising high above the ancient alleyways and imperial palaces. As the government sloughs off a century of Communist dogma, technology, fashion, film and tourism are thriving.
