"Written by the distinguished author of five other books on economics, this new text is well organized and completely up to date. ... is the only text that focuses on the principal issues of the Chinese economy... Uses a format that is flexible enough to accomodate students with only a basic understanding of economics as well as more advanced students." Economia Internacional (Spain), 1988 "... this is a very enjoyable and instructive book for the students of economic systems and particularly China studies."
