Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The economics editor of the Sunday Times provides a brilliant, clear-headed analysis of the global shift in economic power-and asks, what will a resurgent Asia mean for North America and Europe? Two thousand years ago, China and India had a 59 percent share of the world economy. They then fell spectacularly from grace. But by 2050, the world will be theirs again. What will that mean for the West? The rise of China and India raises fundamental questions about the structure of the world economy and the balance of global geopolitical power. Will China still be a repressive and undemocratic regime, embracing free-market economics but only when it suits? How aggressive a superpower will it be? And what about India, whose economic resurgence is built on a highly educated workforce? David Smith analyzes the ways in which the world is tilting rapidly eastward and examines all the implications of the shift in global power to Beijing and Delhi-a shift that will creep up on us before we know it.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Two unaccompanied children travel across the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat that has been designed to only make it halfway across.   A 63-year-old man is woken one morning by border officers 'acting on a tip-off' and, despite having paid taxes for 28 years, is suddenly cast into the detention system with no obvious means of escape.   An orphan whose entire life has been spent in slavery - first on a Ghanaian farm, then as a victim of trafficking - writes to the Home Office for help, only to be rewarded with a jail sentence and indefinite detention.   These are not fictions. Nor are they testimonies from some distant, brutal past, but the frighteningly common experiences of Europe's new underclass - its refugees. While those with "citizenship" enjoy basic human rights (like the right not to be detained without charge for more than 14 days), people seeking asylum can be suspended for years in Kafka-esque uncertainty. Here, poets and novelists retell the stories of individuals who have direct experience of Britain's policy of indefinite immigration detention. Presenting their accounts anonymously, as modern day counterparts to the pilgrims' stories in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this book offers rare, intimate glimpses into otherwise untold suffering.…
