Features: This book selects 7 typical cases that broke through institutional rigidities and became models and leaders of development since the reform and opening-up. It narrates them in a storytelling style with interspersed theoretical insights, revealing to readers an unconventional micro-China within local economic development models. It depicts how these 7 cases evolved—from being labeled as "heretics" to gaining legitimacy, from experiencing dramatic rises and falls, to becoming exemplary models fighting for market "cheese." The authors' lively yet incisive writing style makes the reading enjoyable while providing a genuine understanding of micro-China.
