'This book is an exceptionally ambitious effort to reinterpret China's recent growth...Lo is to be congratulated on his reinterpretation of the Chinese experience. While somewhat critical of the neoclassical approach, the study draws productively from the literature on late industrialization and structuralist thought. It also attempts to design and test propositions developed from the theoretical arguments, examining these agains the Chinese data. The whole book is nicely organized and well written...The alternative views offered in the study are original and insightful...interesting and stimulating reading for scholars and students who wish to understand the Chinese experience beyond the usual economic framework.' - Yiping Huang, China Journal
