Book Rap: Henry M. Paulson "Dealing with China: An Insider Unmasks the New Economic Superpower”

Henry Paulson, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, will discuss his new book “Dealing with China: An Insider Unmasks the New Economic Superpower” in a conversation with Andrea Mitchell, veteran NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, at an April 17 book rap scheduled for 12:00 p.m. in the Holeman Lounge.

Registration is required. Tickets are $5 for NPC members; $10 public. A light lunch will be served.

In “Dealing with China,” Paulson draws on his unprecedented access to China’s political and business elite to detail the creation, evolution, and future of China's state-controlled capitalism, answering questions like: How did China become an economic superpower so quickly? How does business really get done there? What are the best ways for Western businesses and political leaders to work with, compete with, and benefit from China?

This event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit NPC Journalism Institute. No outside books or memorabilia permitted. Books must be purchased through the National Press Club. All sales are final.
