摘要
At a time of China's remarkable economic growth, a thorough explanation of how the miracle came about in a communist regime such as China was in need of explanation in order to provide implications of the new model of economic development. Around the world, foreign governments, international institutions, academia, and the business world alike were in awe at the extent of China's propelled growth. While academics in the West have mainly examined China's accelerated economic development since the 1990s, Huang Ya-sheng's bookcenters on the very fundamental roots of economic development and capitalism since Deng Xiaoping's proclamation of economic reform in China in 1978. Despite the potential controversies that may arise from the core arguments of the book, Huang's book gives us another perspective on how China's economic growth evolved, by his series of comparative analyses of rural entrepreneurship in the 1980s and urban development in the 1990s in China.
