Readership: Students and researchers working on the Chinese economy and transitional economies generally.
Joseph C. H. Chai, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Queensland
"This volume provides an excellent descriptive overview of China's economic reforms ... It is rich in specifics, which is where the book's value lies ... By reading widely in Chinese sources, Chai has been able to provide a fresh, informative and insightful account of the reforms. The book will be of interest to specialists, but at the same time its relatively up-to-date coverage makes it a useful text for non-specialists and students who want to understand in concrete terms the content of China's economic reforms." - Terry Sicular, University of Western Ontario, The China Journal, issue 42, July 1999
