Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers, Western Economists, and the Making of Global China

Julian Gewirtz

China Economic History

Gewirtz reconstructs the little-known encounters between Chinese reformers and foreign economists in the 1980s that shaped the direction of China's market transition. Wang prizes it for showing how contingent and contested the reform path was, rather than treating liberalization as inevitable.
