Reviews

Yi-min Lin's study illuminates the underlying economic and political forces that led the Chinese Communist Party to tolerate and even encourage the growth of private businesses, which he estimates accounted for about two-thirds of China's economic activity by 2014. -- Nicholas R. Lardy, Anthony M Solomon Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics This carefully researched book offers a new and compelling explanation on how and why public ownership has declined in socialist China over the last 30 some years. -- Shaoguang Wang, Department of Government and Public Administration, Chinese University of Hong Kong
