Download or read book China s Unfinished Economic Revolution written by Nicholas R. Lardy and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's Unfinished Economic Revolution offers a fundamentally different interpretation of China's economic reform. The common view that China's gradualistic approach has served it well overlooks the fact that state-owned banks for the last two decades have channeled a large share of sharply rising household savings into what are mostly unreformed, money-losing companies. The result is that several of China's largest financial institutions now are insolvent. To avoid a major domestic banking crisis the book argues that China must recapitalize and restructure its domestic banking system and end the long-standing practice of making lending decisions based on political rather than economic criteria. Nicholas Lardy explains that this course will inevitably be costly in political terms, in part because it will lead for a time to a slower rate of economic growth. But the alternative is even less attractive—permanently slower growth, continued macroeconomic instability, an inability to meet the expectations of the international community for the opening of its domestic financial markets, and insufficient resources to deal with severe environmental deterioration, growing water shortages, and a rapidly aging population. This timely book also analyzes the new reform initiatives China has launched in the wake of the Asian financial crisis, suggests additional steps that must be taken, and evaluates the implications for U.S. policy.

Download or read book Unstately Power Local causes of China s economic reforms written by Lynn T. White and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 1998 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's dramatic reforms are usually said to have been caused by the policies of state leaders under Deng Xiaoping. This fascinating new study by one of the West's leading authorities on contemporary China shows, however, that reforms began and are maintained by local networks. They emerged first in the economy -- partly as unintended results of previous policies. Agricultural extension in Mao Zedong's time freed so much labor from the land in rich areas, such as the Shanghai delta, that peasant leaders set up rural industries to employ clients. Many of these leaders were avowed "state cadres", but they acted for local constituencies more than for Beijing. Their initiatives can be documented in the early 1970s, long before the 1978 proclamation of new enterprises, which the central bureaucracy could not monitor, taking materials and markets away from state industries. This caused socialist control of input prices and commodity flows to collapse by the mid-1980s. As a result, shortages and inflation bedeviled the economy, the state ran deficits, management decentralized local banks proliferated, and immigration to cities soared.
Download or read book The Population of Shanghai 1865 1953 written by Christian Henriot and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the first systematic reconstruction of the demographic series of the population of Shanghai from the mid-nineteenth century to 1953. Designed as a reference and source book, it is based on a thorough exploration of all population data and surveys available in published documents and in archival sources. The book focuses mostly on the pre-1949 period and extends to the post-1949 period only in relation to specific topics. Shanghai is probably the only city in China where such a reconstruction is possible over such a long period due to the wealth of sources and its particular administrative history, especially the existence of two foreign settlements.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White (politics, Princeton U.) shows how social diversification during the economic boom--treated in the first volume--has modified political norms and public practices in China. He finds the country following a typical post-revolutionary track toward decreased centralization and ideological fervor. He also finds that as the regime becomes more corporatist and less Lenninist, the traditional claims of intellectuals to state power have weakened and they have wondered off into regional or international interests.

Download or read book The Chinese Triangle of Mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong written by Alvin Y. So and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-07-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese triangle of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan constitutes one of the most dynamic regions in the world economy. Since the late 1970s, these three societies have experienced increasing economic integration; however, studies aimed at analyzing and explaining this integration have often overlooked the very important role social institutions have played in the shaping of this process. To fill this gap, this book adopts a systematic institutional approach designed to examine the different patterns of institutions in the three countries and to discuss how such social institutions as the economy, gender, social networks, and the Chinese diaspora have exerted a profound impact on all three societies. The chapters, taken together, argue that different patterns of institutional configuration have led to divergent paths of development, and that this divergence will have significant implications on the prospects for Chinese national reunification in the twenty-first century. The Introductory chapter provides a historical discussion on the origins and the transformation of the Chinese triangle during the second half of the twentieth century. The remainder of the volume is broken into four topics considered crucial for understanding the transformation of the Chinese triangle: economic transformation, gender, social networks, and the Chinese diaspora. As globalization impacts the Chinese triangle, studies that consider the issues from the perspective of social institutions will be increasingly important to understanding the area as it develops in the world economy.
Download or read book Rural Roots of Reform Before China s Conservative Change written by Lynn T. White III and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s economic and military rise dominates discussions of the world’s most populous country. Resilient authoritarian government is credited with great successes, but this book expands the discourse to include governance by village heads - who often ignored central politicians. Chinese reforms for prosperity started circa 1970 under rural and suburban leaders. They could act autonomously then because of unexpected political and technological opportunities. Their localization of power eroded socialist controls. Since 1990, central leaders have tried to reverse reforms made by resilient local bosses. New findings, especially from the Yangzi delta around Shanghai, challenge the top-down approach to thinking about governance. As Deng Xiaoping admitted, the nation’s spurt of prosperity began in local communities rather than Beijing. Reforms for triple-cropping and rural industrialization started long before Mao’s death (not in 1978, the date most writers cite). Country factories competed with state industries for materials and markets. Shortages by the 1980s led to inflation, government deficits, unofficial credit, unenforceable planning, illegal migrations, then international exports - and severe political tensions. After 1990, Party leaders sought policies to build a Leninist regime that is mostly post-socialist. These reactionary changes have lasted into the era of Xi Jinping. China’s reforms and subsequent changes can be understood as results of unintended situations not just ideas, and local not just central politics. This book will interest students and scholars of Chinese, as well as any readers who wonder about comparative development.
