The Chinese Economy in the 1990s by J Ma

The Chinese Economy in the 1990s by J Ma

This book provides a comprehensive overview and some economic analysis of China's economic reform experiences, particularly those since the late 1980s. It covers many institutional details of key aspects of the Chinese economy, including fiscal and monetary management, financial sector development, state-enterprise reform, international trade, foreign investment, decentralization and regional development. It is argued that while China has achieved a spectacular growth record over the past twenty years, and its reform efforts have successfully laid the foundation of a market-based economic management system, the country continues to face major challenges in sustaining its growth performance.

'Jun Ma's survey of a number of major topics in China's post-1978 economic reforms is a welcome addition to what has become an essential Palgrave seriesIts 2000 publication date enables it to fill a definite gap in the market by making available in book form detailed discussions of fiscal and monetary reforms, the continuing problems of state-owned enterprises, the development of China's two stock exchanges, and decentralisation and regional economic policy, which take the story, in most cases, right up to the end of the 1990s.' - Jackie Sheehan, The Times Educational Supplement
