How China Escaped Shock Therapy
Author: Isabella M. Weber
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 042995395X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
China has become deeply integrated into the world economy. Yet, gradual marketization has facilitated the country’s rise without leading to its wholesale assimilation to global neoliberalism. This book uncovers the fierce contest about economic reforms that shaped China’s path. In the first post-Mao decade, China’s reformers were sharply divided. They agreed that China had to reform its economic system and move toward more marketization—but struggled over how to go about it. Should China destroy the core of the socialist system through shock therapy, or should it use the institutions of the planned economy as market creators? With hindsight, the historical record proves the high stakes behind the question: China embarked on an economic expansion commonly described as unprecedented in scope and pace, whereas Russia’s economy collapsed under shock therapy. Based on extensive research, including interviews with key Chinese and international participants and World Bank officials as well as insights gleaned from unpublished documents, the book charts the debate that ultimately enabled China to follow a path to gradual reindustrialization. Beyond shedding light on the crossroads of the 1980s, it reveals the intellectual foundations of state-market relations in reform-era China through a longue durée lens. Overall, the book delivers an original perspective on China’s economic model and its continuing contestations from within and from without.

Chile's Experience with Stabilization, Revisited
Author: Vittorio Corbo
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Chile
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
The cost of stabilization in chronic- inflation countries is high, whether it is paid up front (with fiscal shock) or delayed (in exchange- rate- based stabilization). And eliminating the fiscal deficit is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for controlling inflation. The breaking of inertia calls for a coordination device in the transition toward price stability.

China’s 40 Years of Reform and Development: 1978–2018
Author: Ross Garnaut
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 176046225X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
The year 2018 marks 40 years of reform and development in China (1978–2018). This commemorative book assembles some of the world’s most prominent scholars on the Chinese economy to reflect on what has been achieved as a result of the economic reform programs, and to draw out the key lessons that have been learned by the model of growth and development in China over the preceding four decades. This book explores what has happened in the transformation of the Chinese economy in the past 40 years for China itself, as well as for the rest of the world, and discusses the implications of what will happen next in the context of China’s new reform agenda. Focusing on the long-term development strategy amid various old and new challenges that face the economy, this book sets the scene for what the world can expect in China’s fifth decade of reform and development. A key feature of this book is its comprehensive coverage of the key issues involved in China’s economic reform and development. Included are discussions of China’s 40 years of reform and development in a global perspective; the political economy of economic transformation; the progress of marketisation and changes in market-compatible institutions; the reform program for state-owned enterprises; the financial sector and fiscal system reform, and its foreign exchange system reform; the progress and challenges in economic rebalancing; and the continuing process of China’s global integration. This book further documents and analyses the development experiences including China’s large scale of migration and urbanisation, the demographic structural changes, the private sector development, income distribution, land reform and regional development, agricultural development, and energy and climate change policies.

Higher Wages for Relief Work Can Make Many of the Poor Worse Off

Book Description
Guaranteed employment can be valuable insurance against poverty. But the recent experience in Maharashtra suggests that raising the wage rate when you don't have the budget to pay for it is not in the interests of all the poor. Some get higher pay, but others must go without relief work.
