Description
This book offers a detailed, comprehensive, and relatively non-technical overview of how and why the Chinese economy grew after 1978. It argues that the Chinese government played a very positive role in the process. By contrast, foreign trade and foreign investment were less important than usually thought. The book also concludes that China benefited from some of the policies adopted by Mao in the 1960s and 1970s.Features
- Combines macroeconomic analysis with detailed analysis of four Chinese regions
- Refutes the World Bank view that economic growth depends upon the liberalization of markets and attracting foreign investment
