China’s Economy What Everyone Needs To Know
Author: Arthur R. Kroeber.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT–CHINA.
Description:
In China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know, Arthur Kroeber offers an overview of the highlights of China’s development since economic reforms were initiated under Deng Xiaoping in 1979.

Cities In Global Capitalism
Author: Ugo Rossi.
Publisher: Polity Press
Year: 2017
Subject:URBAN ECONOMICS ; REGIONAL ECONOMICS.
Description:
In what ways are cities central to the evolution of contemporary global capitalism? And in what ways is global capitalism forged by the urban experience?
