Wu Jinglian - Voice of Reform in China

Informationen zum Autor Barry Naughton is Professor of Chinese Economy and Sokwanlok Chair of Chinese International Affairs at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of Growing Out of the Plan: Chinese Economic Reform, 1978-1993. Klappentext For more than thirty years, Wu Jinglian has been widely regarded as China¿s most celebrated and influential economist. In the late 1970s, Wu (b. 1930) was one of a small group of economic thinkers who broke with Marxist concepts and learned the principles of a market economy. Since then he has been at the center of economic reform in China, moving seamlessly as an ¿insider outsider¿ between academic and policy roles. In recent years, Wu has emerged as a prominent public intellectual fighting not just for market reform but also for a democratic society backed by the rule of law. This book presents many of Wu¿s most important writings, a number of them appearing in English for the first time. Each section offers an informative introductory essay by Barry Naughton, the volume¿s editor and an expert on China¿s economy. Almost every page of this book is insightful on Chinese economics or politics or usually both together. -- Tyler Cowen Marginal Revolution Zusammenfassung Writings by Wu Jinglian map not only China's path to economic reform but also the intellectual evolution of China's most influential economist.
