Beskrivning

China’s Long and Winding Road to Modernization: Uncertainty, Learning, and Policy Change interprets contemporary China’s economic transformation from Austrian and evolutionary perspectives. Fu-Lai Tony Yu and Diana S. Kwan incorporate culture, institutions, government agents and entrepreneurship to understand economic change in China. In this book, the authors emphasize the roles of uncertainty, learning, and experimentation in policy making. Topics discussed range from a presentation of theoretical frameworks to understand China’s economic transformation, an account of China’s economic management during 1950-1978, the economic reformation after 1979 concurrent with Deng Xiaoping’s Open Door Policy, and China’s rise as a global power. These topics culminate in the final section of the book which suggests a path for China’s modernization.

Recensioner i media

Yu and Kwan investigate China’s rising economic power and social development from an Austrian perspective instead of mainstream, neoclassical economic theories. Their approach is “interpretative and storytelling” instead of “quantitative and mathematical.” They emphasize the impact of culture and institutions. After they contrast neoclassical economics with Austrian economics, the authors look at Chinese history, particularly after the Communist Party took over in 1949. The authors conclude the book by suggesting that China should adopt a path similar to the Meiji Restoration. The title is accessible to most audiences. It can be used as an undergraduate textbook for the Chinese economy from the perspective of Austrian economics. Recommended. All readership levels, especially undergraduates.
