Adam Smith previews China special
George Goodman, also known as
Adam Smith of "Adam Smith's Money World," will present a
program called "Crossroads China 2001" at 4:30 pm on
January 6 in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall. It

that will air the following evening on WNET, Channel 13,
plus discussion with Robert Hormats, vice chair of Goldman,
Sachs International, and Minxin Pei, senior associate at the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
In the special, Goodman discusses the
impending conflict between the top-down control of the
communist apparatus in China and the rapid modernization of
the country via the Internet. To keep its economy growing,
he says, China needs world trade, technology, and the rule
of law for investorsall of which challenge traditional
communist authority. He talks with Henry Kissinger, Yale
professor Jonathan Spence, former ambassadors Winston Lord
and James Sasser, and Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, as well as
Chinese artists, chefs, economists and bureaucrats.
Goodman helped found New York
magazine and was a founding editor of the trade magazine
Institutional Investor. His books include The
Money Game, Supermoney, and Powers of Mind.
Hormats has served as assistant
secretary of state for economic and business affairs,
ambassador and deputy US trade representative, and senior
economic adviser to Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew
Brzezinski. His publications include American Albatross:
The Foreign Debt Dilemma and Reforming the
International Monetary System.
Pei's work has covered a wide range
of subjects, including US relations with East Asian
countries and democratization in developing countries. A
former faculty member in the Politics Department, he is the
author of From Reform to Revolution: The Demise of
Communism in China and the Soviet Union and a
forthcoming book on "The Political Economy of Legal Reform
in China."
