Abstract: This paper responds to the contributions to the review symposium on How China Escaped Shock Therapy . I discuss the strategy of economic system reform that started from the non-essential parts of the industrial system in order to eventually transform the commanding heights; the spatial dimension of reform in relation to “dual circulation†and the coastal development strategy; the nature and meaning of Chinese gradualism; and China’s price stabilization strategies of the 1980s in relation to later inflationary challenges. Finally, I reflect on the symposium as a dialogue between economic geography and a history of ideas in action that I pursued in my book.
