Reader comments
This book discusses China's economic development in a simple and in-depth manner in the form of a Q&A. Professor Lin Yifu's unique views and clear logic reminded me of "Xue Zhaofeng Economics Lecture Notes". Both books explain complex economic issues in easy-to-understand terms. Moreover, Professor Lin's debate on the advantages and disadvantages of latecomers is also very interesting, and it made me think about the relationship between technology introduction and institutional change. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
