Chinese Economy in the 21st Century

Edited by Barbara Krug, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany and Hans Hendrischke, University of Sydney, Australia

'Barbara Krug and Hans Hendrischke have knowledgeably compiled and deftly co-edited an exploration of recent and on-going developments in China as reflected by the establishment of private enterprise businesses and companies, developed knowledge based industries, and evolved a kind of partnership between the institutions of government and business. A seminal work, The Chinese Economy in the 21st Century is very strongly recommended for inclusion in professional, corporate, academic, and governmental International Economics reference collections in general, and contemporary Chinese studies economic supplemental reading lists in particular.'
