China's Growth Summary

China's Growth: The Making of an Economic Superpower by Linda Yueh (Fellow in Economics, St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford, Adjunct Professor of Economics, London Business School, and Visiting Professor of Economics at Peking University)

China's economic growth has transformed the country from one of the poorest in the world to its second largest economy. Understanding the drivers of growth remains elusive as the country is affected by both its transition from central planning and the challenges of a developing country. This book examines the main themes of growth, offering micro level evidence to shed light on the macro drivers of the economy. It also focuses on law and informal institutions of the economy to highlight the importance of entrepreneurship and the development of the private sector.

China's Growth Reviews

Overall, the author has managed to achieve her original purpose. She shows very well that China's rapid economic growth is the product of the economic policies of the government and also of an efficient private sector. * Ghasem Torabi, Europe-Asia Studies *
The coverage of China's economic growth could not be more comprehensive. * Carsten A. Holz, The China Journal *
