Economic-Social Interaction during China’s Transition

Assar Lindbeck

No 680, Working Paper Series from Research Institute of Industrial Economics

Abstract: I discuss the nature of the economic reforms in China during the last quarter of a century in the context of a typology of economic systems, emphasizing the interaction between economic and social mechanisms. I also consider China’s options for further reforms. I focus on economic reforms that make the growth path less resource demanding and social reforms that enhance income security and improve education and health care for disadvantaged population groups.
