中国大趋势:新社会的八大支柱(China’s Megatrends: The 8 Pillars of a New Society)简介：
John and Doris Naisbitt, long-time China observers, provide a unique perspective on the transformation that is reshaping the country's economic, social, and political systems. Allowed unprecedented access by the Chinese government, they gathered data and information from across all of China's provinces and cities using the same techniques behind Naisbitt's international bestseller "Megatrends". Based on their findings, the Naisbitts argue that, while the U.S. struggles to restore its position in the world, China is creating an entirely new social and economic model for a 21st-century. Just as America created its own unique model more than 200 years ago, the new system fits China's history and society, and the Naisbitts identify the eight pillars: The Emanicipation of the Mind; Balancing Top-down with Bottom-up; Framing the Forest and Letting the Trees Grow; Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones; Artistic and Intellectual Ferment; Joining the World; Freedom and Fairness; and, From Olympic Gold Medals to Nobel Prizes. Taken together, these eight forces are radically changing China from the inside out and ultimately reshaping the dynamics of globalisation itself. Provocative and groundbreaking, "China's Megatrends" describes this revolution for experts and newcomers alike, offering new insights into China's emergence as a global power.

《中国大趋势:新社会的八大支柱》站在全球的高度，精辟地提出了“中国新社会的八大支柱”理论——解放思想、 “自上而下”与“自下而上”的结合、规划“森林”，让“树木”自由生长、摸着石头过河、艺术与学术的萌动、融入世界、自由与公平、从奥运金牌到诺贝尔奖。并由此总结出中国发展的大趋势——中国在创造一个崭新的社会、经济和政治体制，它的新型经济模式已经把中国提升到了世界经济的领导地位；而它的政治模式也许可以证明资本主义这一所谓的“历史之终结”只不过是人类历史道路的一个阶段而已。
如今中国经济的崛起深深吸引着这个未来学家，无论是中国的GDP、中国在全球化中的地位，还是在金融危机中的作用，约翰·奈斯比特正关注着中国的发展描绘着中国的未来，他坚定地相信“中国模式”将以难以令人置信的力量影响整个世界。
