From all appearances, China has emerged unscathed from the global economic crisis, in stark contrast to the United States, its biggest debtor. China's admirers point to the government's ability to mobilize state resources, make decisions quickly, and create a business-friendly environment as reasons for the nation's economic ascendency. But can its brand of state-directed capitalism overcome rampant corruption and the threat of growing inequality, or will the American model of innovation and free markets prevail?

9 & up.
