Too Much Growth, Too Little Development: The reality behind China's economic miracle

Dale Jiajun Wen

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue 3, 30-35

Abstract: Dale Jiajun Wen examines the social and environmental changes in China during the reform era. By chronicling issues including inequality and poverty, health and education, employment and jobs, and environmental degradation, she argues that China's economic miracle is largely built on liquidation of social and natural capital. The country can no longer ignore the problems created by export-oriented growth, and needs to explore alternatives urgently. Development (2007) 50, 30–35. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100401
