How The Chinese Economy Works

Features

Description

What are the driving forces - both endogenous and exogenous - for, and how have they influenced, China's economic transformations during the past decades? This revised and updated second edition sets out to analyze and compare the operational mechanisms of the Chinese economy between the pre- and post-reform periods and through both national and provincial dimensions.

A multiregional comparison of the Chinese economy is conducted in terms of natural and human resources, institutional evolution, and economic and social performances. The first edition of this book was selected as the 'Best Book on Chinese Economy' by Questia librarians. This enlarged edition includes three new chapters, as well as new data and revisions.

Review: Selected as 'Best Book on Chinese Economy' by Questia librarians 'The world is watching the miraculous development of the Chinese economy with varied emotions: envy, hope, concern... The richness of the material and the clarity of the analysis [in this book] will perhaps make the envious countries even more so; they will certainly provide valuable information for those hoping to learn from the Chinese experience; and they will provide a firmer basis for assessing the concerns of those competing in output and input markets.' - from the Foreword by Lyn Squire, President of Global Development Network
