'A lively and well written comparison of economic transformation in
China and the USSR/Russia, combining a good knowledge of the
Chinese economy with a radical critique of Western transition
orthodoxy, this very topical and very controversial book will be
useful reading for students, administrators in many countries and
international agencies, and business people.' - Michael Ellman,
University of Amsterdam `Peter Nolan makes a pungent challenge to
conventional wisdom by arguing that the Chinese approach to system
reform has been vastly more successful than the shock therapy
applied to Russia. His book is based on extensive comparison and
deep insight into the political economy of both countries.' - John
Toye, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex This book is the
first attempt to analyse systematically the dramatic contrast in
the results of post-Stalinist reform in China and Russia. It argues
that there emerged a 'transition orthodoxy' about how to reform the
communist systems of political economy. However, it was deeply
flawed. The advice which flowed from this orthodoxy was the primary
cause of the Soviet disaster. The decision not to follow it was the
main reason for China's enormous success in its reform programme.
