The misguided forces driving conflict escalation between America and China, and the path to a new relationship In the short span of three years, America and China have entered a trade war, a tech war, and a new Cold War. This conflict between the world' s two most powerful nations wouldn' t have happened, were it not for an unnecessary clash between of false narratives. America falsely blames its trade and technology threats on China yet overlooks its shaky saving foundation; China falsely blames its growth challenges on America' s resistance to market-based socialism, overlooking its failed economic rebalancing. In a hard-hitting analysis of both nations' economies, politics, and policies, Stephen Roach argues that much of the rhetoric on both sides is dangerously misguided, amplified by information distortion, and more a reflection of each nation' s fears and vulnerabilities than a credible assessment of the risks they face. Outlining the disastrous toll of conflict escalation between China and America, Roach offers a road map to restoring a mutually advantageous relationship.
"A remarkable book. Accidental Conflict offers a wealth of evidence about and a new depth of understanding of the underlying forces that drive the Chinese and United States economies. "-Robert J. Shiller, author of Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events "If you wonder how the US-China relationship has gone from friendly to hostile in a few years, this is the book for you. It details the economic and political processes underlying this change and presents an avenue to avoid ' Accidental Conflict. ' "-Robert Engle, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2003 "Accidental Conflict is a very important and timely book. Its arguments and analyses have the potential to change misperceptions by policymakers and analysts on both sides and avoid a dangerous and mutually destructive course. "-Laura D. Tyson, Former Chair, White House Council of Economic Advisers "I can think of no-one better qualified than Steve Roach to explain how the China-America bromance went wrong, and how it could, with good will on both sides, be put right. "-Howard Davies, author of The Chancellors: Steering the British Economy in Crisis Times
