Synopsis

China is poised to become the world's largest economy and market by early next century. Since contemporary China is rooted in its past, the key to understanding the modern Chinese economy is in understanding its historical development.

The Economic Development of Modern China traces the development of the Chinese economy from the mid-19th century to the present day. To accomplish this task, this collection brings together the most influential writings in this field during the twentieth century which were originally published in numerous specialized international journals and monographs.

This authoritative three volume set, together with a new introduction by the editor, covers a wide range of topics including pre-war Chinese economic growth and development, socialist modernization during 1949-78, and the market orientated reforms since 1979.

It will be an essential reference for students, researchers and professionals who are interested in the Chinese economy.
