Features: This collection of essays compiles 57 papers written by the author between 1978 and 2003. The 25 years covered by the collection coincided with the period when China was transitioning from a planned economy to a socialist economy, as well as a time of rapid economic growth. During this period, China underwent earth-shaking changes in its economy. In rural areas, the land system shifted from the collective ownership and use rights system of rural people's communes to a land contract system with separated rights and use rights. Material circulation changed from planned allocation of production and living materials to market exchange. Capital flow transformed from unified planned allocation to diversified funding and a partially open financial market. Labor use transitioned from planned employment to a limited labor market.
