Features: This book records and evaluates the property rights reform of public enterprises in China during the 1990s, with a focus on the driving forces, background, methods, characteristics, and consequences of this transformation. The research is primarily based on the author's field surveys of over 1,000 industrial enterprises nationwide and relevant national statistical data. The book presents to readers the origins, development, challenges, and potential impacts of this micro-institutional evolution that is profoundly reshaping China's institutional foundation. Adhering to the empirical analysis norms of contemporary economics and emphasizing an accurate grasp of the transformation process, while avoiding hasty judgments on its outcomes and nature, is the fundamental pursuit of the author in analysis and writing.
