Resumen del Editor

“Keyu Jin is a brilliant thinker.”—Tony Blair, former prime minster of the United Kingdom

A myth-dispelling, comprehensive guide to the Chinese economy and its path to ascendancy.

China's economy has been booming for decades now. A formidable and emerging power on the world stage, the China that most Americans picture is only a rough sketch, based on American news coverage, policy, and ways of understanding.

Enter Keyu Jin: a world-renowned economist who was born in China, educated in the U.S., and is now a tenured professor at the London School of Economics. A person fluent in both Eastern and Western cultures, and a voice of the new generation of Chinese who represent a radical break from the past, Jin is uniquely poised to explain how China became the most successful economic story of our time, as it has shifted from primarily state-owned enterprise to an economy that is thriving in entrepreneurship, and participation in the global economy.

China’s economic realm is colorful and lively, filled with paradoxes and conundrums, and Jin believes that by understanding the Chinese model, the people, the culture and history in its true perspective, one can reconcile what may appear to be contradictions to the Western eye.

What follows is an illuminating account of a burgeoning world power, its past, and its potential future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Jin doesn’t ignore China’s faults and failings . . . she tells a nuanced story that deserves attention at a time of extreme tension between China and the United States.” —Peter Coy, The New York Times

“Jin avoids ideology and instead frames basic economic agents in the same manner as any other country. As a result, English-language readers will come away with a more informed and empathetic picture of this still-developing country.” —Asian Review of Books

"The most important book on China in many years, written with stunning eloquence and clarity. Jin does not cover the warts, but insists on a holistic view. Anyone who want to understand China, and how to engage with it economically and politically, will greatly benefit from this deeply original book." —Kenneth Rogoff, Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics, Harvard University

Great Book

Very informative. It presents the China story from a different perspective. It gives a very good analysis of the economic rise of China with an objective view that is difficult to gain from western media. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand China politically, socially and economically.

Understanding

Very good insight on the inner workings of China’s economy. Must read for many Americans.

Very informative analysis

Her vision for the world is idealistic and it’s a spin of the wheel if China will evolve in the fashion she envisions. While she is a very good analyst and very informative she sometimes seems to want two things at the same time.

Common Sense Optimism

It is refreshing to read a book that just makes sense -- cutting through the ideological propaganda that pervades the "free world" discourse about rival superpowers.

Excellent

A refreshing view that provides a much needed understanding of China, the Chinese government and the Chinese economic system. Much better and far more nuanced than the typical western propaganda.

Nuanced and fair

Forging a collaboration hopefully will avoid a Thucydides trap.

I enjoyed the Explanations of provincial government, local leaders being responsible for budgets, as well as the slow trend to individual preference, and perhaps an openness to financial Capital flows will arise

Tell it the way it is from data and facts

Jin presented a very different view than what you read from the news media nowadays.

Good content but missing important information

Writer doesn't mention China s aggressive behavior in the south china sea or in other countries' markets, such as Africa and Latin America, through the debt trap policy. She downplays the seriousness of widespread corruption and lack of accountability of people in power nor mentions the infighting between government factions which caused so much suffering during the pandemic. She fails to mention that politics was the main reason they kept the country under horrendous covid policies and closed borders, isolating China from the international community for far too long. COVID restrictions after the 1st year had nothing to do with science, only politics. And after lifting the restrictions at the end of 2022, she fails to mention that most places went bankrupt.

Helpful

Hopefully it helps dispell some of the confusion and paranoia about everything related to China and her economic ascent.

This will further understand Chinese economy

Every author has their own biasness. I also don't see any baseless claims on this book. This book will further help you understand Chinese economy. Also, the author did great job without villifying the West.
