About this book

Introduction

The 19 speechs in this volume explain many aspects of China's market-based rural economic reforms. They were delivered primarily to groups of government or Party officials by Du Runsheng, director of the Rural Development Research Center (RDRC) of China's State Council for much of the 1980s. The book includes an introductory chapter describing the history of rural economic policy in the People's Republic of China, notes by Du Runsheng and a glossary of important Marxist and Chinese economic terms.
