Description

China’s economic growth has been more robust in some regions than others.¬† In a country as large as China,¬†examinations of regional differences can provide a viable way to¬†learn about the economy as a whole.¬† Rongxing Guo¬†provides a systematic introduction to the economies of China by describing their external and internal drivers and by placing them within geopolitical and even socio-cultural boundaries.¬† His¬†pairings¬†of¬†case studies and¬†empirical techniques reveal¬†a rich,¬†deep appreciation¬†of the growth process and of¬†interactions between key factors.¬†This book delves more deeply into issues surrounding the economy than other books, offering a unique and important perspective that many will find useful.¬† Covering history and administrative structures, unique economic features, some domestic economic issues, and international economic engagement,¬†it¬†describes¬†an¬†often inaccessible¬†perspective¬†with nuances all students of China will find valuable
