The making of an economic superpower: unlocking China’s secret of rapid industrialization

About the Talk

Dr. Wen will discuss his book, “The making of an economic superpower: unlocking China’s secret of rapid industrialization" (call number: HD3616.C63 W46 2016). This book argues that the generally accepted institutional theory of economic development is highly inadequate in explaining China’s astonishing economic growth, and only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West can fully explain China’s growth miracle in the past 30 years.
