China, modernisation and the goal of prosperity

The Chinese economy underwent a period of rapid expansion and modernisation during the late 1980s. The process of economic reform was launched ten years earlier, in 1979, and this book describes the first decade of economic reform in China with particular analysis on the late 1980s. It is unique in presenting a Chinese perspective on this economic reform to western readers. The material in the book was collated by a team from the Institute of Industrial Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Science in Beijing. This work was completed during the period immediately before the social unrest that culminated in the Tiananmen Square incident of June 1989.
