The book examines issues related to China's economic rise and the new social landscape of Chinese society, the difficulties in finding the path to economic progress, the transition from a dogmatic-administrative to a commodity-money orientation in the economy, the policy of openness, and the expansion of the market mechanism. It convincingly demonstrates that China is now becoming the most prosperous country in the world, with the highest rates of economic growth and enormous interest from foreign investors in its economy.
