In the three decades since the start of economic reforms in China, economic growth in the world's most populous country has been a phenomenal 9.6% per year on average. In China's Economic Transformation, Gregory Chow provides a penetrating and comprehensive examination of the historical, institutional, and theoretical factors that have contributed to this economic success. Chow draws on insights gained from over twenty years of teaching, travelling, working with government officials and academics, and interacting with ordinary citizens in Chinese society to analyze and explain China's rapidly evolving economy.
