Summary:

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the rise and growth of the Chinese. economy since the beginning of the country's transition to a socialist market. economy, and captures the growth story in its historical backdrop. It sequentially. unveils the story, and highlights the critical role of two major change agents-the. government and the people. While the credit goes to the former for the successful. transition to a high growth economy, there is an equally important role played. by the Chinese people, displayed by their hard work, tenacity and struggle for. a better living standard.
