Overview
The first three chapters briefly discuss China's geography, the Chinese economy before 1949, the socialist centrally planned command structure from 1949 to 1978, and a short analysis of the Chinese economic reform period that began in 1978. Then, beginning with Chapter 4, topics are narrowly defined by economic sector and discussed in greater detail. However, the book is meant to be only an introduction to the topics covered.
Part II covers changes in GDP including graphs and statistics, and also covers people's place in the economy, such as human capital in education and the labor force, income inequality, and poverty. Part III focuses on the rural Chinese economy since 1978, including its organization and the impact of technology. Part IV focuses on the urban economy and its changes over time. Part V and VI covers China's interrelationship with the world economy.[1][3]
