From the ashes of extreme poverty to blue skies and booming villages, discover how China lifted hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty. When Jason arrived in Beijing in 2012, he saw beggars, coal-filled air, trash-filled rivers, and villages without plumbing. By 2020, the skies were blue, the rivers clean, and extreme poverty had been eradicated across the world’s most populous nation. Skeptical of headlines, Smith spent years traveling to every province of China, including dozens of the poorest villages. In this honest, firsthand account, he takes you deep into the villages, towns, and cities where the transformation happened, not through dry statistics, but through the people, places, and stories he witnessed himself. Take an insider’s tour:
