China’s Economy Since 1978
Examined by Mr. Li Yining himself, the forty articles included in this book present a panorama of the forty years since China adopted the reform and opening-up policy. The issues range from the reform of the Chinese economic system to the challenges and chances encountered in this process, from China’s agricultural and industrial reform to education and management closely related to economy. A crystallization of Mr. Li’s thesis during the past four decades, the book sheds light on future economic reform and development in the country.
Li Yining (1930-2023) was a prominent Chinese economist. He has been a leading voice for the privatization of state-owned companies, and his advocacy led to the establishment of China's stock markets in 1990. Nicknamed "Mr. Stock Market", he is credited with providing the theoretical basis for the market-oriented reform that has propelled China's economic growth.
Li is a long-time professor at Peking University and former dean of the Guanghua School of Management. In 2004 he was awarded the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize of Japan.
