An economic history of modern China
Chai, J. C. H.
An economic history of modern China [electronic resource] / Joseph C.H. Chai. - Cheltenham, U.K. : Edward Elgar, 2011. - 1 online resource (vii, 268 p.) : ill.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
pt. 1. The traditional economy -- pt. 2. Transition to modern economic growth -- pt. 3. Modern economic growth under socialism -- pt. 4. Reform and growth acceleration.
As a country's current development is path dependent, the rise of China and its strategic implications can only be understood in a historical context. Hence, the key to understanding contemporary China is the understanding of its past. So far there has been an absence of a comprehensive text dealing with Chinese economic history in the English language. An Economic History of Modern China fills this important gap, focusing on modern Chinese economic growth and comprehensively surveying the patterns of China's growth experience over the past 200 years, from the Opium wars to the present day. Key events are traced back to their foundations in history to explain their impact on China's modern economic growth.
