Overview: فتحت الصين أبوابها على مصاريعها للعالم الخارجي في العام 1978، وهو ما لم تفعله الهند إلا في العام 1991، ومن ثم بدأت حظوظ الدولتين في التغير. وبعد 25 سنة من تلك "الإصلاحات الاقتصادية" زادت الدخول في الصين إلى الضعف مقارنة بالهند، وفي 2003 تجاوز 87% من الصينيين خط الفقر المقدّر بدولار في اليوم، بينما لم يتجاوزه سوى 69% من الهنود. واستثمرت الشركات الأجنبية 7.5 مليارات دولار في الهند خلال السنة المالية المنتهية في 2006، بينما يستثمر المبلغ نفسه في الصين كل ستة أسابيع. وهكذا يتحرك اقتصاد الهند بطيئاً متثاقلاً، بينما تحلق الصين في السماء على طريق المستقبل (ص 16-17).وبعد ذلك الإنجاز الصيني المدهش، تتساءل المؤلفة: كيف كان ذلك؟ الهند مجتمع ديمقراطي متنوع الثقافات واللغات، ويتحدث أغلبية سكانها الإنجليزية، وبها نظام قضائي راسخ ومستقر، وتربطها بالغرب روابط كثيرة لا حصر لها، وكل هذا بعكس حال الصين. ولكن ثمة شيئاً واحداً مشتركاً بين البلدين: وهو أن تحولاتهما والطريقة التي سيحولان بها الكوكب حدث يذهل العالم الذي لم يشهد مثله منذ ظهور أميركا على مسرح الاقتصاد العالمي. وهنا تشير المؤلفة إلى أن الكتاب يحكي قصة تغيّر الصين والهند، وكيف تغيران مصير العالم (ص 18-19). أين التقى ماو الطبقة الوسطىيتكون هذا الكتاب من تسعة فصول: تتناول المؤلفة في الفصل الأول (أين التقى ماو الطبقة الوسطى، 23-54) الدور الخطير الذي تلعبه الطبقة الوسطى في تحقيق التنمية والتمرد على الدكتاتورية وقد تعرضت المؤلفة للمجاعة الكبرى التي واجهت الصينيين، ثم أوردت المؤلفة قصة اجتماع بعض الريفيين في 1978 للخروج عن نسق "شيوعية ماو" والمتمثلة في "المزارع الجماعية"، فأعادوا تقسيم الأراضي الزراعية بطريقة تفعّل دور الأسرة مما زاد الإنتاج إلى أربعة أضعاف، وقد هيأت تلك الإصلاحات الزراعية لشرارة التغييرات الكبرى في الصين. كما تم التعرض لمفاصل المشروع الإصلاحي الشيوعي لـ"ماو" الذي توفي عام 1976، وخلفه "دينغ" الذي سمح للفلاحين بأن يدخلوا في مجال الصناعات ليصل عدد المشاريع إلى 22 مليون وذلك بعد 25 سنة من بداية المشروع الإصلاحي. وقد زار "دينغ" العديد من الدول منها سنغافورة للتعرف على تجاربهم والإفادة منها ثم شرع في وضع برنامج إصلاحي تدريجي يقوم على الصناعة والتحول إلى اقتصاد السوق تحت لافتة مقبولة سياسياً "اشتراكية ذات خصائص صينية"، ثم أعدوا خطة لتحقيق نمو بمعدل 8% سنوياً لتأسيس تنين اقتصادي أبدي، وهو ما حققوه فعلاً.من دولاب الغزل إلى أسلاك الألياف البصريةبينما يركّز الفصل الثاني (من دولاب الغزل إلى أسلاك الألياف البصرية، 55-82) على التجربة الإصلاحية الهندية، وتقفز المؤلفة بنا إلى 1991، وهو عام وصل عدد الذين هم تحت خط الفقراء إلى 230 مليون نسمة، وانهارت الموارد المالية الحكومية، ووصلت إلى حد الإفلاس، مع مشاكل سياسية خطيرة، فما الذي حدث بعد ذلك؟ بعد اغتيال "راجيف غاندي" في 21-5-1991، تولى "نارشيما راو" رئاسة الحكومة، وعين العالم الاقتصادي "مانموهان سينغ" وزيراً للمالية، حيث تولى وضع خطة إصلاح اقتصادية واسعة، مما دفع بصندوق النقد الدولي إلى تقديم قروض، وأعلن في الهند عن الاستمرار في إدخال إصلاحات هيكلية ضخمة تقوم على تشجيع الصناعة، ودعوة المستثمرين إلى الدخول في الصناعات، وقد أدت تلك الإصلاحات إلى نتائج اقتصادية مذهلة. وقد أشارت المؤلفة إلى أن الهند قد تأخرت كثيراً في "عزلتها"، كما تعرضت الكاتبة إلى تأثير أفكار كل من "غاندي" و"نهرو" على الثقافة الهندية كما تطرقت إلى جهود "جامستي تاتا" في تحقيق الاكتفاء الذاتي والقوة الاقتصادية بدءا من العام 1868، ثم عرجت على المفاصل والمشاريع الإصلاحية الهندية، ومنها تجربة "نارايانا مورثي" أو "بيل غيتس الهند" وكيف استطاع أن يؤسس للتقدم الحاسوبي في الهند. كما أشارت المؤلفة إلى أن الهنود بدؤوا يحولون أنظارهم نحو الصين بصفتها "ملهماً" لهم، وقد اعترف الهنود بأن الصينيين قد سبقوهم كثيراً، إلا أنهم عازمون على الالحاق بهم، كما اعترف الهنود بأن "البنية الأساسية" هي المشكلة الكبرى التي يواجهونها، وفي كلمة لها دلالات هامة، قال أحد ساسة الهند: الصين قادرة على السير بحركة الإصلاح بشكل أسرع لأن نظامها دكتاتوري. وأنا أقول: هذا يعني أن الدكتاتورية إذا كانت مخلصة فإنها تحمل بذورا مفيدة للإصلاح مع قبحها.صناعة أميركيةأما الفصل الثالث (صناعة أميركية، 83-108) فقد استعرضت فيه المؤلفة بعض مظاهر التقدم الاقتصادي كما تناولت بعض المشاكل الكبرى التي تواجهها الصين للمحافظة على ذلك التقدم.وقد ركزت المؤلفة على اتباع الصين سياسة جذب الاستثمارات الأجنبية مما أسهم في دخول عدد كبير من الشركات متعددة الجنسيات التي وجدت الصين سوقا يحقق لها: تخفيض التكاليف مع نمو مستمر في العائد، وكمثال على ذلك وفرت الشركات الأميركية العاملة في الصين سبعين مليار دولار في عام 2005، ليس ذلك فحسب بل مارست الصين إغراء شديداً للمستثمر الأجنبي من خلال الاكفتاء بمبالغ ضئيلة كعوائد، وقد أشارت المؤلفة إلى معالم الفساد المستشري في الصين. طريق التوابل عبر الإنترنتفي حين أن الفصل الرابع (طريق التوابل عبر الإنترنت، 109-140) تخصصه المؤلفة لتحليل العوامل التي دفعت الشركات الأجنبية إلى نقل وظائف ذوي الياقات البيض عبر البحار Offshoring وتحديداً في الهند، وأشارت إلى بعض التقديرات التي تذهب إلى انتقال ثلاثمائة ألف وظيفة أميركية سنوياً لمدة ثلاثين سنة. وقد شبهت المؤلفة الصين بأنها أصبحت "مصنع العالم" في حين باتت الهند هي "المكتب الخلفي" Back Office للعالم، وتشرح المؤلفة كيفية ومراحل انتقال وظائف ذوي الياقات البيض إلى الهند، ومن أبرز المشاكل الخطيرة التي تواجه الهند -بحسب المؤلفة– أن الطلب على الوظائف "منحاز" لذوي الياقات البيض، مما حرم شرائح كبيرة فرصة الحصول على وظائف (نسبة الأمية في الهند 39%)، غير أن هناك اتجاهاً نحو تعزيز قدرات الهند الصناعية من أجل توفير مئات الآل...
