Economic history

Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy

The current growth of the Chinese economy is of

immense importance for the global economy. This book outlines the main characteristics of Chinese economic growth over the last two decades, and investigates in detail the key determinants of growth, especially capital formation and productivity issues. It goes on to examine the important related questions of employment and underemployment, regional disparity, and economic integration, exploring in detail how far economic integration has taken place in south China, including

the economies of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and how far this integration has been a determinant of economic growth. The book

makes comparisons with other east Asian economies, and concludes with a consideration of the prospects for continuing growth in the twenty-first century.
