Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China - Evan Osnos - A Short Summary & Review

 

A short summary of Age of Ambition:

The current state of China and how it came to be.

My favorite Evan Osnos quote from the book:

"The commander of a mighty army can be captured, but the aspiration of an ordinary man can never be seized."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Do you think you are in control of your fate?

What do you think communism really looks like?

My review of Age of Ambition:

A very good insight into a powerful economy.

Explores the Chinese people's perspective.

Is there a perfect government?
