Inequality and Poverty in China in the Age of Globalization

by Carl Riskin and Azizur Rahman Khan

Book Overview

China's explosive economic growth since 1988 has not resulted in an equal increase of income among all Chinese citizens. The authors explore a range of reasons for the disparity and base their conclusions on strong empirical evidence--especially the 1996 survey conducted by the State Statistical Bureau.
