In the 1980s, rural China gained the upper hand, and the result was rapid as well as broad-based growth. In the 1990s, urban China triumphed. In the 1990s, the Chinese state reversed many of its productive rural experiments, with long-lasting damage to the economy and society. A weak financial sector, income disparity, rising illiteracy, productivity slowdowns, and reduced personal income growth are the product of the capitalism with Chinese characteristics of the 1990s and beyond. While GDP grew quickly in both decades, the welfare implications of growth differed substantially. The book uses the emerging Indian miracle to debunk the widespread notion that democracy is automatically anti-growth. The single biggest obstacle to sustainable growth and financial stability in China today is its poor political governance. As the country marks its 30th anniversary of reforms in 2008, China faces some of its toughest economic challenges and substantial vulnerabilities that require fundamental institutional reforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasheng Huang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521898102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521898102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/03\/2008 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/26\/6009 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2010 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/09\/2010 pg. 32","brand":"Yasheng Huang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981012992255,"sku":"9780521898102","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb928618-3548-475b-847e-b0fc8e8eed2f.jpg?v=1683253183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitalism-with-chinese-characteristics-yasheng-huang-9780521898102","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
