From Mao to Market: Rent Seeking, Local Protectionism, and Marketization in China - Cambridge Modern China Series
Wedeman, Andrew H. (University of Nebraska, Lincoln)
This book argues that China succeeded in moving from a Maoist command economy to a market economy because government failed to prevent local officials from forcing prices to market levels. The 'resource wars' that resulted from partial price reform in the early 1980s cleared the way for sweeping reforms.
