- Summary:
- From 1976 to 1997, Chinese economic growth was very fast. Chris Bramall argues that this can only be partly explained by the conventional argument for trade, foreign direct investment, and the mobilisation of surplus labour. He argues that growth has been driven by China's state-led industrial policy.
