About this title

Synopsis

This open access handbook, Ten Crises systematically traces the economic history

of China from 1949 to 2020, unravelling the complex domestic and global factors

leading to the cyclical crises identified by WEN and his research team, and

examining the corresponding counteracting policies and measures by the

government to resolve or defer the crises. The book offers profound insights into

China’s endeavours and predicaments on the path of modernization, and

contemplates opportunities and lessons for the forging of alternative trajectories

not only for China but also for the global south: to reconstruct rural communities

for integrated cooperation and governance, and to revitalize ecological civilization.
