The Chinese economy

This authoritative text by Barry Naughton offers a detailed introduction to China's economy since 1949, analyzing the socialist era, market transition strategy, patterns of growth including population and the one-child policy, rural and urban economies, agriculture, industry, technology, foreign trade, investment, macroeconomic issues, and environmental sustainability.

The second edition, published in 2018, is revised to reflect the end of the 'miracle growth' period and ongoing demographic, technological, macroeconomic, and institutional transitions, with expanded coverage of financial policy.
