More About the Author
Product Description
Asian Affairs, November 2007
Barry Naughton states at the start of his study of the Chinese economy that his work is a text book, and can be used in classes. But this somewhat undersells his achievement, which is to have assembled in highly accessible form, and offered concise and credible interpretation of, the key statistics and known facts about how the Chinese economy operates, what its main characteristics are, and how it has developed over three decades since the Opening Up and Reform Process began in 1978.
...There are many other excellent features of this study. One is the clear description of the contribution Chinese agricultural workers made in the early 1980s to the great reform process, literally revolutionising the way they worked, producing food surpluses, and then moving into semi-industrial Town and Village Enterprises that constitute a huge part of the non-state sector. These, indeed, were the real heroes of the reform process.
Review
"Authored by a leading specialist on the Chinese economy, Barry Naughton's book provides a lucid, systematic, and insightful view of China's road to becoming a 'powerhouse of the global economy' as well as of the challenges ahead in sustaining past accomplishments. Designed primarily as a textbook, its comprehensive coverage and sophisticated analysis assure that it will become a valuable and much-used resource for anyone seeking an understanding of China's economy."--Steven M. Goldstein, Sophia Smith Professor of Government, Smith College

Format:Paperback
If you want a single book, that is realtively up to date (in China terms) that covers all main areas of the economy in a single book then this is a very good place to start.
Some history of pre PRC and through the pre-reform era. But clearly most of the focus is post 1978 to present day. Covered is economic growth, labour markets, financial reforms, rural and urban reforms etc

A very good book of understanding how China's economy changed. Many aspects including financial change, labour and enterprises reforms are in details. Worth reading it!
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Provides deep and complex information about Chinese economy, its development, differences between the urban and rural China and incorporation of China into internatinal economic relations. Little bit outdated.
