  • Book

When looking back at the Chinese economy over the last 100 years or so, we can see that, although always fluctuating, there are definite trends in inflation that emerge along with social changes, shifts in the economic system, and major changes in economic policy. This book identifies the causes of inflation throughout China's recent economic history. It explores the reasons behind inflationary changes, and it studies the effective counter-measures used by China's economic rulers. (Series: Economic History in China)
