Postcards from Tomorrow Square

Minnesota Public Radio is making available a discussion between James Fallows and Dr. Lincoln Chen about Fallows' new book Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China (Vintage). Fallows makes some interesting observations based on his experience living in both China and Japan. He also discusses, in quite accessible language, some aspects of the Chinese economy, including the currently hot topic of Chinese "manipulation" of their currency, the RMB. You can listen to the discussion here.
