✦ Synopsis

Conventional analytical tool kits often do not work in China due to its strong idiosyncrasies and opaque system. Using rigorous economic analysis, backed by solid data and accounts of real life experiences, this book twists conventional wisdom to drive the thinking about China 'outside the box'. Many books on China are long on volume but short on thoughts. This book is the opposite. It dispels China's economic myths and probes deep into the hidden forces that drive China's economic future.
