SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book examines changes in the institutions governing rural industry. Susan Whiting explains not only the striking regional variation in the form of property rights in rural industry during the first decade and a half of China's post-Mao reform, but also the dramatic move toward privatization that has occurred throughout China since the mid-1990s. She further relates the evolution of property rights to changes in state extractive institutions."--Jacket.
