انتقال الصين إلى التصنيع | السلع الإنتاجية والتنمية الاقتصادية في القرن العشرين

China's Transition to Industrialization examines the history and development of a group of industries that have played pivotal roles in China's recent economic gains. Drawing on diverse sources, the author focuses on the engineering, chemical, and related production industries, showing how the growth of these sectors set in motion a dynamic development process that extended to the entire Chinese economy. Rawski attributes this industrial process to three main sources: the strong development of the private sector before the war, which led to the emergence of a nucleus of experienced producers in Shanghai and other urban centres; the resource mobilization efforts undertaken by the communist government after 1949; A series of economic reforms that eased the performance constraints that were prevalent in other socialist economies and stimulated a surge in innovative activity that propelled the Chinese economy from the depression of the early 1960s to a level of economic achievement unparalleled among the major countries of the developing world.
