MEDIA REVIEWS
'Gruin locates the ongoing process of financial reform in China in a longer historical analysis of the emergence of a Chinese form of capitalism. He thus makes a significant contribution to understanding the deeper political priorities underlying the apparent contradictions of the "socialist market economy", and offers valuable insights into the implications of China's rise for the global financial system.'
Shaun Breslin, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick
'In this provocative book, Gruin highlights the pivotal role of the CCP in constructing China's distinctive financial system. This system serves the developmental priorities of the party-state and reinforces political controls while defying many assumptions of political economy that are based on the state versus market dichotomy.'
Sebastian Heilmann, Professor for the Political Economy of China, University of Trier; Founding President of the Mercator Institute for China Studies, Berlin.
'Gruin develops a fascinating politico-economic narrative of China's financial reforms, at the heart of which stands the role of the Chinese Communist Party. He analyses how, by deftly managing economic uncertainty, the Party was able to simultaneously foster rapid capital accumulation and bolster its political control, thus illuminating the contradictions of a financial system unlike any other on earth.'
Christopher McNally, Professor of Political Economy, Chaminade University
