[An] informative study... [The China Boom] paints a convincing picture that China may not be the superpower many predicted it to be. Publishers Weekly This valuable treatise will appeal to both scholars and more casual readers with an interest in China. Library Journal Masterful. Foreign Affairs It is a fast-paced, highly readable, thoroughly provocative, and (rare for an academic book) truly enjoyable account of 400 years of Chinese economic history right up to the present day. Asian Review of Books So many books on China recycle the same stories and historical anecdotes, but this one tells the story from the point of view of economic history. It is scholarly yet readable, interesting throughout. Marginal Revolution The book should be mandatory reading for anyone concerned with transnational economic policy planning. Pacific Affairs
