China Socialist Economic Development. Volume 1. The Economy, Statistical System, and Basic Data

摘要

In recent years, within and outside China, two related questions have been debated: how well has China's economic development since the 1949 revolution served the Chinese people; and what have been the respective roles of (a) factors outside the Government's control, (b) the policies followed, and (c) the system of economic management itself. This first World Bank report on the Chinese economy is primarily an attempt to address these questions in the context of experience in other developing countries, and to discuss some of their fundamental implications for future policy. In view of the scale and difficulty of this task, and the limited time and resources available, the report should be regarded as no more than a preliminary step toward an understanding of China's economic progress and potential.
