China's economic and social transformation from a poor, mostly peasant society to an increasingly prosperous, industrial society would be a major event in world history, according to Perkins, a leading expert on China's economy. Writing for a nonspecialist audience, Perkins argues that China now possesses the educated human resources and growth-oriented, stable political system that make such a transformation feasible. Post-Mao economic reforms have produced rising productivity and annual growth rates averaging 8 percent. Briefly but authoritatively assessing both the dangers to reform and the lively consequences of reform, Perkins joins the optimists who believe China finally has achieved a successful formula for modernization.

A well-researched, insightful, amazingly accurate prophecy."What would it mean to the world if China, with one quarter of the world's population, were to move from a closed, poor, peasant society to an industrialized nation, fully integrated into the international economic system, by the end of the twentieth century: Dwight Perkins addresses this question in two provocative and timely essays that capture the revolutionary changes taking place in China today. Perkins suggests that China is already starting along the same path of economic growth and accelerated development that was followed so successfully first by Japan and then by South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore."
