Ted C. Fishman's bestselling book China, Inc., How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World, helps describe the effects of China's momentous change on the lives and businesses of people everywhere. The book, translated and published in 24 languages, is an international bestseller. There are Chinese editions in both The People's Republic and Taiwan, where the book has gained an enthusiastic following.

   His latest book is Shock of Gray (2011). Informed by vivid and witty reporting from cities around the world, and compelling interviews with families, employers, workers, economists, gerontologists, government officials, health-care professionals, corporate executives, and small business owners, Fishman reveals the astonishing and interconnected effects of global aging, and why nations, cultures, and crucial human relationships are changing in this timely, brilliant, and important read.

   His essays and reports appear in many of the world's most prominent journals, including The New York Times Magazine, USA Today, Harper's, Esquire, INC, and The Times of London, among many others. He has been featured on ABC World News Tonight, NBC's Today Show, CNN, Fox, NPR, and the BBC. Fishman has testified before Senate and Congressional committees and commissions and consults on China with a wide range of government officials, including some of America's most influential office holders.  As a public speaker, Fishman has addressed a wide range of global audiences, including corporate and trade gatherings, large civic gatherings and universities.

   Fishman's writing takes seemingly vastly complex topics and making them understandable and meaningful for a general audience. Fishman is particularly interested in how big global economic trends bear on people's everyday experience. A former floor trader and member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, he ran his own trading firm until 1992.  Fishman is a graduate of Princeton and in 2007 was a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University.  Fishman is also a faculty director at The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, for which he helps run immersive programs on China for global executives. He is currently at work on a book about how the changing age demographic of the world will affect the way we raise families, how we work and act as citizens in our communities and the world.

   Fishman has lived and worked in Japan and Indonesia. His presentations combine engaging story telling with wide-ranging knowledge about the world economy, putting into context his audiences' top concerns: off-shoring, Asia’s buying power, the rapid innovation and technology advances, education, population growth increasing market demand and growing American businesses in a non capitalistic economy.

   Fishman takes complex topics of economy and business and relates them directly to your industry. Both entertaining and informative, Fishman shows how in a single generation China shifted from an agrarian society to a global business power, and what this dramatic shift means for the U.S. and the global economy.
