Poorly Made In China : An Insider's Account Of The Tactics Behind China's Production Game
by Paul Midler

Let's reword the title: Poorly Written Book On China.
There have been several books describing factory-made products in China and none of them have been good. This latest volume is just as bad.
The author, who is fluent in Mandarin and has a Wharton MBA (uh oh), is a buffer between Chinese companies and foreign importers. Everybody wants to work with him, so that they can be one step ahead in the new economy. Sound exciting? Not really.
It's certainly not enlightening nor entertaining as is written in the dust jacket. There's no continuity and everything is choppy.
I guess if one is a business major, in college, this might be required reading, but for the rest of us, stay very far away.
