Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS China'S Great Economic Transformation by Edited by Loren Brandt , Edited by Thomas G. Rawski
This landmark study provides an integrated analysis of Chinas unexpected economic boom of the past three decades. The authors combine deep China expertise with broad disciplinary knowledge to explain Chinas remarkable combination of high-speed growth and deeply flawed institutions. Their work exposes the mechanisms underpinning the origin and expansion of Chinas great boom. Penetrating studies track the rise of Chinese capabilities in manufacturing and in research and development. The editors probe both achievements and weaknesses across many sectors, including Chinas fiscal, legal, and financial institutions. The book shows how an intricate minuet combining Chinas political system with sectorial development, globalization, resource transfers across geographic and economic space, and partial system reform delivered an astonishing and unprecedented growth spurt.show more
