Description: In 1978, China's Deng Xiaoping launched the economic reforms that have resulted in one of history's most dramatic and profound national transformations. But China also faces daunting challenges in sustaining growth, continuing the unfinished agenda of economic transformation, addressing the adverse consequences of economic success, and dealing with mounting pressure and suspicion from the U.S. and other long-standing trade and investment partners.
Review Quotes:
"This volume raises new and very important themes in the study of China's economy. The contributors and editors are an all-star lineup of scholars who provide a long-term perspective on the reforms that explain how China got to where it is economically and shed light on the country's current strengths and weaknesses. There is a dearth of good writing that covers the entire arc of China's economic reform over the past 40 years, and this volume is an antidote. It will serve as a standard reference for policymakers, scholars, and students."--Margaret Pearson, Harrison Distinguished Professor, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland
