Fu-Lai Tony Yu and Diana S. Kwan incorporate culture, institutions, government agents and entrepreneurship to understand economic change in China. In this book, Yu and Kwan emphasize the roles of uncertainty, learning and experimentation in policy making. Topics discussed range from a presentation of theoretical frameworks to understand China’s economic transformation, an account of China’s economic management during 1950-1978, the economic reformation after 1979 concurrent with Deng Xiaoping’s Open Door Policy, and China’s rise as a global power. These topics culminate in the final section of the book which suggests a path for China’s modernization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I.
