Bridging gaps between historical understanding and contemporary policy relevance, this book will be useful reading for researchers in varied disciplines including economic history, agricultural economics, China's economy, and economic development. Jane Du is a Research Associate at The China Institute, SOAS University of London. She holds a PhD in Economics from SOAS and previously published two books, Agricultural Transition in China: Domestic and International Perspectives on Technology and Institutional Change and China's Labour Market, 1950 - 2020: The Role of Family Planning in Demographic and Income Transitions with Palgrave Macmillan. |
