Reviews
<p> The volume presents a clear picture of the Chinese economy and offers valuable insights into the economic problems that China must face. <p> --Robert Michael Field, The Journal of Asian Studies
Reviews under the original title - The Chinese Economy under Communism In The Chinese Economy Under Communism, Chen and Galenson survey the most important aspects of China's economic growth in the past twenty years... The authors are to be congratulated on taking the trouble to express themselves with brevity and clarity... Clearly, as short reference book and a textbook for students this book has no rival... The discussion of economic strategy and the economics of various policy variants tried in China is a valuable part of the book. --Christopher Howe, Pacific Affairs The volume presents a clear picture of the Chinese economy and offers valuable insights into the economic problems that China must face. --Robert Michael Field, The Journal of Asian Studies [P]robably the best general survey of the growth and development of the Chinese economy since 1949 to be published to date. --Shannon R. Brown, The Journal of Economic History. The book can be read with great understanding by non-economists . . . technically very good and ideologically American, should appeal to a wide audience. --John G. Gurley, Journal of the American Oriental Society [This book] contains important original contributions . . . This reviewer highly recommends the book to intelligent laymen who seek a balanced view of economic development in Communist China. It is particularly suitable for courses in comparative economic systems and Chinese economics. --K. C. Yeh, Journal of Economic Literature [T]he best general survey of Communist China's economic performance to be published so far . . . very useful for post-graduate students of economics who require a concise synthesis of Western writings on Communist China's economic development. --Kenneth R. Walker, The Economic Journal The Chinese Economy under Communism by N. R. Chen and W. Galenson provides a general survey of the subject. --Audrey Donnithorne, Economica
