Publisher’s Summary
China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic growth story of the last three decades. In the 1980s, China was an impoverished backwater, struggling to escape the political turmoil and economic mismanagement of the Mao era. Today it is the world’s second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world’s steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America.
China’s growth has lifted 700 million people out of poverty. It has also created a monumental environmental mess, with smog-blanketed cities and carbon emissions that are a leading cause of climate change. Multinational companies make billions of dollars in profits in China each year, but traders around the world shudder at every gyration of the country’s unruly stock markets. Most surprising of all, its capitalist economy is governed by an authoritarian Communist Party that shows no sign of loosening its grip.
How did China grow so fast for so long? Can it keep growing and still solve its problems of environmental damage, fast-rising debt, and rampant corruption? How long can its vibrant economy co-exist with the repressive one-party state? What do China’s changes mean for the rest of the world? China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers these questions in straightforward language that you don’t need to be an economist to understand, but with a wealth of detail drawn from academic research, interviews with dozens of company executives and policy makers, and a quarter-century of personal experience.
Whether you’re doing business in China, negotiating with its government officials, or a student trying to navigate the complexities of this fascinating and diverse country, this is the one book that will tell you everything you need to know about how China works, where it came from and where it’s going.

Fine Long-Term Overview
Very glad I listened. Wished I had listened to the 2nd Edition (if it were available), but still very glad I listened to the first
-
Interesting, but unfortunately dated
Very informative and interesting analysis of the history of China and how circumstances have/had created explosive growth. Unfortunately, most of the statistics are 10 years old and things have significantly changed. Just as the "re-opening" drove growth and opportunity for China, the crackdown on private enterprise and liberty is strangling it.

Just an incredible book with unbiased insight into a miracle of the last 40 years
An incredible book with unbiased insight into a miracle lasting 40 years. Concise. Clear. Extremely informative.
-
very insightful
A very thorough and insightful book. I wish more politicians would read or listern to this audio book
-
a pro-china take
This is an informative book about China that takes a pro-China perspective. A good primer on the Chinese economy that doesn't go into the weeds as much as I would have liked
-
Informative but a tad dull
Nothing about the military or tax system or internal economy of the Communist party or relevance oh Hong Kong or Tibet. Useful for what it had to offer. Worthwhile by limited.
-
comprehensible and encompassing
a brilliant presentation of china's economy and future prospect using a simplified approach... Book has great expository values and highly detailed with facts.
-
good information. detailed.
very detailed and inciteful. explores all aspects of China economy and political developments over the past 50 years. written in 2015, so its pretty current but I bet it will get updated in a few years as much is happening over there.
