In the course of these jaunts, we do get some impressions of China’s economy. Labor is tight and turnover high for both professional jobs in downtown Shanghai, and also for the worker drones in the air-conditioned, well-lit, quiet “sweatshops.” And Bennett finds that China — even China — does not have an endless supply of virtually-free labor. As he points out, the country’s global manufacturing dominance, while amazing, is also ephemeral: clothing costs pennies to manufacture because the peasants imported from the countryside to make it are earning pennies. Labor shortages will eventually affect China’s economy like they would any other: the cost of labor will rise and manufacturers will be priced out by even cheaper competitors.
