model
After 2008, Jiang says BIS solved global slowdown by shifting economic gravity from America and Europe to China through exchange-rate signaling.
diagnosis
Jiang says Wall Street financialization bundled the world into a fragile derivatives system, and China prevented total collapse after 2008 by absorbing raw materials through infrastructure spending.
autobiographical
Jiang says he deliberately refused obvious wealth-making opportunities during China's 2008 education boom because becoming rich would have required dependence on investors, officials, and business partners, costing him intellectual independence.
diagnosis
Jiang says China peaked around 2008, expanded too quickly, and is now burdened by debt that it must painfully work through.
