Frank Langfitt: The Shanghai Free Taxi
According to NPR correspondent and author Langfitt, the impressive efflorescence of the Chinese economy "is largely over." In fact, China, like the US, is full of inequality and trepidation, and it's led by a "newly empowered strongman president." Langfitt's new book, The Shanghai Free Taxi: Journeys with the Hustlers and Rebels of the New China, shares stories he gathered driving a taxi in Shanghai, giving free rides in exchange for glimpses of his riders' lives.
