A Brief History of Inflation in China (Economic History in China series) - Hardcover

When looking back at the Chinese economy over the last 100 years or so, we can see that, although always fluctuating, there are definite trends in inflation that emerge along with social changes, shifts in the economic system, and major changes in economic policy. This key book identifies the causes of inflation throughout China's recent economic history, explores the reasons behind inflationary changes, and studies the effective counter-measures used by China's economic rulers. This major new work, which is being made available outside of China for the very first time, will appeal to people studying ancient China. Published in association with Social Sciences Academic Press (China).
