Agricultural Instability in China, 1931-1990

This is a remarkably detailed and innovative account of the agricultural sector in China during the period 1931-1990. Professor Kueh has collected and analysed an unequalled amount of statistical data and combined this with a wider discussion of Chinese economic policy and macroeconomic instability. In the final section of the book the author gives an authoritative account of recent drastic changes in policy and of probable future trends in Chinese agriculture. An important and highly original work.
