Sommario/riassunto

The emergence of China as a major world economy is a development of great significance. There has, however, been little detailed work on the grassroots level of entrepreneurship in China. This innovative book addresses this gap, investigating how an economic system dominated by central plans, bureaucracies and communist ideologies could generate such energy from the bottom of society.
