China's Economic Transformation by Gregory C Chow

China's Economic Transformation by Gregory C Chow

Will China's recent economic growth continue at the same rate? For how long? What obstacles lie in the way of sustained growth? Who gains and why? Gregory Chow covers these and many other issues. * Provides a penetrating and comprehensive analysis of the historical, institutional and theoretical factors that have contributed to China's economic success * Reveals new findings concerning the roles of market institutions, Chinese human capital, private ownership, forms of government, political conditions, and bureaucratic economic institutions * The new edition covers a diverse set of important issues: environmental restraints; income distribution; rural poverty; the education system; healthcare; exchange rate policies; monetary policies; and financial regulation.

A timely contributionTimes Higher Education Supplement This edition is even better than the first edition since it has extended coverage of agriculture - which continues to be a very important part of the Chinese economy - more on education, on corruption, and other important issues. Even more so now it is required reading for learning about the still fastest growing economy in the world. Gary Becker, University of Chicago Gregory Chow's China's Economic Transformation has become the definitive text for the study of the world's most dynamic economy. The new second edition improves on the magisterial first edition with more extensive discussions of a broad range of current policy issues: corruption, inflation and money supply, education, income inequality, and rural development. James J. Heckman, University of Illinois, Chicago Few economists know as much about China as Gregory Chow. This is an encyclopedic achievement, and the first edition has already become a standard reference. Olivier Blanchard, MIT
