Told through a series of letters, China from the Inside: Letters from an Economist presents insights into the society and economy of a country that is often opaque to outsiders and poorly understood. The author's expertise as an economist, and the family's efforts to integrate into Chinese society, furnish a vivid and unique account. It provides a valuable new perspective on the Chinese worldview, social relations and economy, as well as informed opinion on its projected economic development. Addressing issues ranging from the education system to the sustainability of economic growth, this is an accessible and engaging book that will be essential reading for all those interested in China and its future. .EconomicsAsiaEconomic conditionsInternational economic relationsEconomic developmentEducationEconomic aspectsLabor economicsEconomicsAsian EconomicsInternational Political Economy'Economic GrowthEducation EconomicsLabor EconomicsEconomics.AsiaEconomic conditions.International economic relations.Economic development.EducationEconomic aspects.Labor economics.Economics.Asian Economics.International Political Economy'.Economic Growth.Education Economics.Labor Economics.330Brunt Liamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut954305BOOK9910255054603321China from the Inside2158470UNINA
