He first provides overall economic histories of the two countries and considers their particular impacts on the global economy. He then assesses their comparative strengths and weaknesses. In the final chapter he argues that: China and India are the biggest thing to hit the world economy, but they are not as big as they seem; they will stretch the world's resources, but won't destroy the planet; they will flex their diplomatic and military muscles, but won't start a new Cold War; they will provide huge market opportunities, but will remain relatively poor; and they will hit turbulence and trigger protectionism, but won't change the rules of globalization.
