Economic competition between the United States and China has been a defining issue of the twenty-first century. But after years of rapid growth, China's economy has faltered. How did its long-term economic outlook change so quickly? And can Beijing change course and preserve China's political ambition for global economic primacy?

Join Logan Wright, author of Broken China: How the Economic Miracle Shattered and What it Means for the World, for a book talk exploring these questions and more co-hosted by the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions and the Hoover History Lab. More details to come as the event date nears.
