Poverty and Growth in a South China County: Anxi, Fujian, 1949-1992

by Thomas P. Lyons

Overview

One of the first detailed studies of a local economy in the PRC, this book traces the development of a poverty-stricken county through the Maoist era and the first fifteen years of the post-Mao reforms, showing how central and provincial policy impinged upon the county and how local decision-makers responded to changing opportunities.
