<p>"This volume contains nine articles on the recent growth and development of the Chinese economy. Editor</p>
<p>Grivoyannis (Yeshiva Univ.) provides an introductory chapter that offers historical context on China's economic</p>
<p>development and a concluding chapter on international implications of China's economic performance. All other</p>
<p>contributors, with the exception of one residing in South Korea, are from China. They provide many insights into the</p>
<p>transition economy based on firsthand experience. In addition to the more traditional topics such as the government's</p>
<p>role in the economy and land property rights, there are some interesting chapters not typically found in similar</p>
<p>volumes. For example, one chapter explores private finance, which has caused great publicity and social unrest in</p>
<p>recent years. Another chapter argues that the rising saving rate is partly attributed to dramatically higher education</p>
<p>costs, and one chapter is entirely devoted to mathematics education in China. Those interested in China's economy</p>
<p>and society will find this work of value. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels of students; faculty; researchers;</p>
<p>professionals." - CHOICE</p>
