Book Description

This book, a bestseller in China with over a million copies sold, depicts the role played by the Chinese govement in China‘s economic development. It explains how the Chinese govement has gradually established and improved market mechanisms while promoting economic growth. The book particularly points out that the Chinese govement not only goves the economy through policy guidance but also directly participates in the process of urbanization and industrialization as part of the market. It also introduces the specific mechanisms of govement involvement in economic activities, which forms a bridge between economic theory and the reality of China. This book, a winner of the Wenjin Book Award by the National Library of China, will be an invaluable reference for scholars seeking to understand China‘s economic policy and govement system reform in the years to come.
