China's Economic Reform: A Study with Documents - Hardcover

"Provides readers outside China with the type of insights into chinese economic reform that can only be provided by direct access to significant and interesting Chinese materials.." -"Journal of Economic Literature, December 2003 "This Volume is essential for anyone doing research on the contemporary Chinese economy. It is useful for those researching the broader area of economic reform in the formerly centrally planed economies. The decesion to produce a volume of tranlsated versions of articles published inside China was a stroke of brilliance.." -"Choice, S.J. Gabriel, Oct 2003

This book presents a collection and analysis of original policy documents, newly translated into English, from a key period of Chinese development, providing both a current and a retrospective analysis of China's economic reform efforts. Topics dealt with include the evolution of Chinese economic strategy; economic planning and the spread of market mechanisms; technology transfer in industry; evolution of an agricultural system; the development of population policy; and foreign economic relations. The collection will be of great interest not only to scholars and students of Chinese studies, but also to professionals and social scientists concerned with China but unable to read source documents in Chinese.
