Competing Economic Paradigms in China : The Co-Evolution of Economic Events, Economic Theory and Economics Education, 1976-2016 (Routledge Contemporary China Series)

This book explains how and why neoclassical economic theory became the dominant economics paradigm in China. It rejects the idea that the rise of neoclassical theory was a triumph of reason over ideology, and instead links the rise to broad ideological currents and to the political-economic projects that key social groups wanted to enable.
