China has enjoyed heroic growth rates in the last twenty five years
of reform and transition, pulling more people out of poverty more
quickly than at any other time in human history. Nonetheless these
successes have had costs: today China is faced with increasing
environmental difficulties and there is a dangerous level of
inequality of income and wealth leading to large numbers of often
violent disputes and demonstrations in the countryside.
This book discusses the very latest issues relating to China's
remarkable economic growth. It provides comprehensive coverage of
these issues, including economic, political-economic, environmental
and philosophical questions, presenting material in as
non-technical a way as possible. The issues discussed reflect key
concerns within China itself at present. These focus not just on
how to sustain fast rates of economic growth but also on how to
solve the problems resulting from it, problems including widening
levels of income equality, new forms of environmental degradation
to include water shortages, health issues, governance dilemmas and
new problems for the banking, strategic industrial and agricultural
sectors.
This book not only encompasses the current socio-economic
situation in China, accepting its strengths while highlighting
dilemmas, but also provides suggestions for policy. As such, it
reflects a growing recognition in China that the attainment of both
continued strong economic growth and a greater degree of social
harmony are mutually interdependent: that one will not be achieved
without the other.
