An Economist Book of the Year, 2008
This book presents a story of two Chinas - an entrepreneurial rural China and a state-controlled urban China. In the 1980s, rural China gained the upper hand, and the result was rapid as well as broad-based growth. In the 1990s, urban China triumphed. In the 1990s, the Chinese state reversed many of its productive rural experiments, with long-lasting damage to the economy and society. A weak financial sector, income disparity, rising illiteracy, productivity slowdowns, and reduced personal income growth are the product of the capitalism with Chinese characteristics of the 1990s and beyond. While GDP grew quickly in both decades, the welfare implications of growth differed substantially. The book uses the emerging Indian miracle to debunk the widespread notion that democracy is automatically anti-growth. The single biggest obstacle to sustainable growth and financial stability in China today is its poor political governance. As the country marks its 30th anniversary of reforms in 2008, China faces some of its toughest economic challenges and substantial vulnerabilities that require fundamental institutional reforms.

Perfect Fit & Easy Install — Replaced Faulty Blade from Another Set
Size: 17", Style: Latitude Repellency
This 17" Rain-X blade ended up replacing a faulty 17" blade from a 5 PLUS set (24"/17"/12") I originally installed. The 17" from that set had a defective internal adapter — it wouldn’t seat properly on the wiper arm & was extremely difficult to remove. Once I got it apart, the adapter looked warped or misformed. Rather than deal with a full return, I replaced just the 17" with this Rain-X blade. Installation on the Rain-X was quick & straightforward — it locked in properly with no issues. Performance so far is solid: Smooth wipe No streaking No excess sound Good contact across the windshield Now I’m effectively running a side-by-side comparison (Rain-X 17" vs 5 PLUS 24"/12"), & I’ll update later if anything changes over time. Overall, this blade did exactly what I needed — simple install & reliable performance.

Incredible visibility upgrade for my Corolla!
Size: 24", Style: Latitude Repellency
I swapped my old, streaky blades for these Rain-X Latitudes on my 2005 Corolla, and the difference is night and day. The "2-in-1" feature actually works; after a few minutes of use, the water just beads off the glass, even when the wipers aren't on full speed. They were very easy to install with the included adapters and they wipe completely silent without any chatter. If you're prepping for a long road trip or just want better visibility in the rain, these are worth every penny.

Great wipers!
Size: 24" and 19", Style: Water Repellency
Works very well, leaves the film for the water to bead off which is what I love about it! Still leaves it a little streaky when I us the washer fluid but I don’t know if it’s just the ones I got or not. Still love them because they work!!
