> Most recently, an FT columnist wrote a booked titled "Easternization" that seems to broadly agree with your thesis. I'm sure there are other authors that have written countervailing books.
Most recent example I can think of of someone arguing the opposite would be Red Flags, although the "China is on the verge of complete collapse" crowd is also pretty large, so I'm sure you could find a far more pessimistic book than that one.
