Reviews

`The structure of the book is clear and straightforward. . . business people, economists and other social scientists may find this book a useful source of data related to China's changing economic situation.' -- Jamie Paquin, China Information `China's Consumer Revolution is an important book and a stimulating, scholarly contribution to the unfolding, for better or worse, of the Chinese economy. It should be required reading for students of contemporary China and a highly recommended reference for students of business, economics and social sciences generally. Not least, it should be on the reading list of politicians, officials and business people, both in New Zealand and globally, who need to gain some understanding of what is happening in what is fast becoming the world's largest market.' -- Tim Beal, New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies `The achievement of this book is that it reaches the goal it has set itself. To demonstrate that China is, potentially the world's largest consumer market.' -- Iain Robertson, Asia Pacific Business Review `Recommended for those who want to understand Chinese markets, and for students of China and development.' -- C.A. Haulman, Choice
