“In general this refutes many myths on China’s economic reform in analysing the relation of the state and the market in China’s ‘socialist market economy’. It is a good introduction for economists to the processes during China’s economic ‘reform and opening up’.”
John Ross, Senior Fellow at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University, China
“For specialists I particularly found extremely valuable, collecting together much information, the section on the decisive role played by agriculture during the launching of China’s reform in 1978 – I knew the process in general but this provides much detailed information I had not seen elsewhere.”
