- Summary
- "In the two decades since the start of economic reforms in China, economic growth in the world's most populous country has been a phenomenal 9.6% per year on average. In China's Economic Transformation, Gregory Chow uses insights gained from over twenty years of teaching, traveling, working with government officials and academics, and interacting with ordinary citizens in Chinese society to address the reason for and nature of China's economic success.
- Combining historical-institutional and theoretical-quantitative approaches, Chow provides a penetrating and comprehensive analysis of the factors which have contributed to the transformation process. Chow's knowledge of what has happened and what is happening in China leads him to forecast an economic future with imperative worldwide implications."--BOOK JACKET.
