Reviews
Review of the hardback: 'This book is insightful, comprehensive, and timely. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding China's monetary challenges into the 21st century. The terrific data in Burdekin's book will be particularly valuable to many readers.' James R. Barth, Auburn University Review of the hardback: 'There are many books on China, but few intelligent ones on the Chinese financial market. Richard Burdekin's work is very timely to fill the gap. For those who want to understand issues on Chinese monetary policy, equity markets, banks, and the exchange rate, this book provides comprehensive coverage.' Baizhu Chen, Gordon S. Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California Review of the hardback: 'An invaluable source of information on the evolution of China's monetary institutions from the 1930s until the present, and on the future path of reform.' James A. Dorn, Cato Institute, Washington DC and co-editor of China's Future: Constructive Partner or Emerging Threat Review of the hardback: 'Burdekin's careful research provides valuable insight into a number of current policy issues facing China and the global economy as well as illustrating several fascinating historical episodes. One finds that today is not the first time that pegging exchange rates has generated serious macroeconomic problems for China's economy.' Thomas Willet, Dean, School of Politics and Economics, Claremont Graduate University
