Major Issues and Policies in China's Financial Reform (Volume 1)

Major Issues and Policies in China's Financial Reform (Volume 1)In the 60-year history of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese economy underwent progressive transitions through three distinctive regimes: the centralized planned system at the very beginning, the planned commodity system born out of the 1978 Reform and Opening Up policy, and the socialist market system established in the 1990s - all composed of intriguing, if not enigmatic Chinese characteristics. Even more so are the figurative metaphors, jargonistic terminology, and conclusive slogans associated with the phenomena and policies amid China's economic reforms. Any attempts to make sense of these terms without careful contextualization would be doomed, while neglecting them for convenience's sake would prevent a thorough understanding of the events. Combining historical narratives and theoretical discussions, the four-volume Major Issues and Policies in China's Financial Reform provides an in-depth examination of 28 key concepts that knit together the major issues and policies in the course of China's financial reform, including evaluations of their present relevance.
