The Star Calibrator

Key insights to understand and adapt the strategies of the Asian giant to enrich our societies.

The world we once knew has changed. To face its complexity, we need new perspectives. Without China, it is impossible to understand a 21st century in which progress can only be achieved by learning from the experiences of others. What lessons can we draw from a country that has become a superpower in just four decades? Can they inspire us to perfect our democracies, build a more resilient, competitive society, and thrive in a challenging global environment?

The Star Calibrator shows that there are as many ways to order the world as there are to read the sky. In this book, Julio Ceballos invites us to explore the Chinese model to transform challenges into opportunities. With an engaging and optimistic tone, the author reveals several key elements that can be exported to the West from this ancient civilization: meritocracy, investment in education, entrepreneurial spirit, the culture of effort, and long-term strategic planning, among others. A lucid and inspiring analysis articulated in 18 "plug-ins" that explain China's achievements and provide tools and best practices to enrich our system and revitalize our institutions.
