From Wall Street to the Great Wall: How Investors Can Profit from China's Booming Economy

by Burton G. Malkiel, Patricia A. Taylor, Jianping Mei (With), Rui Yang (With)

Overview

From the million-copy-selling author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, the perfect guide to investing in the next economic giant.

In From Wall Street to the Great Wall, Burton G. Malkiel and his coauthors show how average investors can tap into the opportunities this affords without losing their shirts. The authors present firsthand knowledge from their research trips to China on how Chinese firms and industries, as well as multinationals in the United States and elsewhere, are likely to benefit growth. They describe investment opportunities ranging from stocks to real estate to art and then set forth a grand strategy, including sample portfolios, for profiting from China's economic boom.
